Just got an alignment after lowering

Post by Rick Johnson »

I had a wicked toe in condition and it was blowing my treads off pretty quick.

I had already maxed out the front camber adjustment, which besides camber bolts there's not a whole lot you can do. Anyhow here's the final specs

CAMBER:

FL: -2.1
FR: -2.0

RL: -2.4
RR: -2.4

Toe and castor are all within spec.

This specs are still about a half degree off of factory spec, I don't think it's anything to worry about personally. Or should I look into camber bolts/plates?

I wouldn't worry about it unless your tire wear seems a bit excessive.

You can get Cusco camber plates for the Mx3.

Those gives LOTS of adjustment.

A second set of camber adjusting bolts should do it and cheaper too.

I'll keep an eye on the tires, if it starts to wear I think I'll go for the camber plates. I would like to eventually do some auto-x.
