I just had the car aligned today, here are my final alignment readings. This is a 95 GS-T.

L Caster 4.3
R Caster 4.6

Front L Camber -1.3
Front R Camber -1.9

Front L Toe .00
Front R Toe .00

Rear L Camber .5
Rear R Camber -.4

Rear L Toe .15
Rear R Toe -.35

Thrust angle .3

I did the DIY rear camber adjustment.
I placed 8 washers behind each A-arm total of 32 each side. It was approximately 7/16 of an inch that I brought out the A-arms in the rear. How many do I need to remove in order to get it right? Also the rear right toe is in need of a bushing (the mechanic said) in order to get it within spec. Also on the front camber, what kit would you reccomend to adjust it. I have tokico blue shocks with red tokico springs ( I didn't purchase them so Im not quite sure about shocks and springs other than brand).

Any input would be highly appreciated. :thumb:
 
Thank you for the reply thats what I needed. Would you happen to know what bushing could need to be replaced in order to adjust right rear toe? Also what would you try to set rear camber at, -2.2 to -1.2?

There is an eccentric cam bolt on the toe control arm that is used to adjust rear toe in. I would keep the rear camber close to -1°.
 
My left rear camber is at +.5 and my right is at -.4. This is moving the a-arms out half inch on both sides. If I were to remove the entire half inch of washers from the left rear I'm not sure that I would see -1 degree of camber. However when I didn't have any washers in there my tire was badly worn on the inside.

Also wat would you recommend me doing with front camber. -1.3 on the left front and -1.9 on the right front, get a camber kit? What are the ideal specs?

I am willing sacrifice some tire wear in favor of superior handling.
 
make the rr camber at -6 by removing just a couple washers, bring the lr camber down to -6 by removing about half inch of washers.
there is an eccentric adjustment youy can get for the front made by ingalls or you can get an adjustable ball joint from napa, either way, bring the front camber to about -6. your front caster is perfect, you want about a half degree negative on the left to accomidate for road crown so you dont have a pull to the right. make yout toe 0 by moving the eccentrics. your all set for handeling and not much wear.
