Wheel ALIGNMENT question
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey would really appreciate some input. Lowered about an inch or so on BC BR coilovers. Car just doesn't feel right and I've had it realigned twice since installing coilovers. How do these specs look to y'all? Anything stand out. Also do you have suggestions on what specs should be? If so, please post the better numbers/correct specs so that I can just tell these bozos at the shop what to set my camber, toe, etc. THANKS!

Other than the front camber difference L/R it looks fine.

How does the car not feel right? Are those adjustable dampers? Are they corner balanced?

+1 on has it been cornered balanced. The camber on the front right needs to be dialed in at about -1.5.

Negative on corner balanced. My damping is set to what BC says is factory. All the springs ate preloaded correctly and height even. It isn't turning like it should. Would say its plowing into turns with a bit of understeer. Feels unbalanced. Thanks guys. I will look ay where to get it corner balanced. Is it expensive?

ok. I looked it up and feel a bit foolish for not having done the corner balancing. thats probably causing most of the problem. Will look into having it done ASAP. Still proud I installed the coilovers myself! lol

That front camber is way out of whack,you really shouldn't have no more than .1 difference between the two.

Also tighten up the toe front & rear.

well, it's not the end of the world but corner balancing is important if you really want to use the c/o's to its potential.

also soften up the dampers a few clicks on the front if it's understeering.
chances are it's too stiff all around. you're not running aftermarket sway bars, right?

I softened the settings all around and it's a bit better. Taking it Saturday to a very reputable shop and getting alignment and corner balanced. Thanks for the help everyone
