Help with alignment

[zenkii]

Today i went to the alrignment shop, after i installed megan RUCA and rear toe. What i've noticed on the result sheet/print out, it said the specs was for 89-94 240sx, and i would assume that they might of screwed up because i drive a 95 240sx. So right now, i am thinking that the alignment specs might be different between s13 and s14 chasis. Let me know soon...while warranty is still there!

What exactly did they adjust you to? Should read something like 0* to .5* camber and 0 to maybe 1/16" toe in for stock specs......i think

I don't have the exact numbers and specs with me( in the car), but i want to know is if the alignment specs are the same or different for s13 and s14

same **** different bucket. dont stress.

Thanks a lot URAS, hmmm... i wonder was that the reason where the mechanic told me that the brackets were bent...

.5* camber is way too low on an s-chassis if you do any sort of actual driving.

Those are stock specs, which I can only assume was what he had done. Outside of performance oriented shops, or techs that actually know the worth of custom set ups, you go in for an alignment and you get as close to stock settings as possible.

I set up a lot of track and drift cars and tyre choice will change the alignment specs but we run around the following;specs should read something like below;

front toe 0-5mm total toe out (never toe in)7-9 degrees caster2.5-3.5 degrees camber

rear 0-3mm total toe in0.5-1.2 degrees camber-4mm adjustment on the traction rod. to keep bump alignment correct (stops dynamic toe change).

^ Your recommendation seems pretty off from my alignment specs. Oh yeah i should of mention that this car isn't built to be a drift machine nor strictly for track, and this is my only car. Even though ocassionally touge LMAO, anyways i hope to post up my alignment specs soon, but when i did have negative rear camber, the car seems like it was floating. This feeling before the alignment, it seem like i could be either getting into an accident with the quickness or bust a super doper drift by just turning the steering wheel slightly. Furthermore, i felt like a drift king for amoment LOL,...j/k but the feeling was that the response of the steering wheel became extremely sensitive
