No, me neither. Would have been useful.
The guy I had install the springs didn't do the alignment, he took it elsewhere. And having been without the car for a week (the place was 80 miles away so I left it with him) I just wanted to get out and drive the car.
Didn't realise I had a place with Hunter equipment on my doorstep otherwise I would have brought the car home and had the alignment done there.

I had my alignment done the other day after installing some sportlines. They couldn't get the front left camber to spec (-1.50), although it is only slightly out. I am going to leave it at that tbh.

Anyone see any long term problems other than maybe faster tyre wear on the inside..?

Thx

Should be fine, if you find its a bit twitchy on the front either get camber bolts or dial in a touch more toe in on front axle but I see your running 2 minutes toe in per side so it should feel pretty planted.

Tyre wear maybe a touch on inside, just keep eye on it and swap front wheels side to side if one side wears more than other.

Ok, so just had my alignment checked at local motosave spot. Sadly no print outs and fairly simple laser kit but very helpful and took time to discuss.

Before:
front toe: 1mm toe out each side (2mm total).
Rear toe: 0.75mm toe in each side (1.5mm total)
Rear camber: -1deg right, -1.7deg left. Visible wear on left tyre edge
Front camber: -0.7 right & -1.3deg left.

After:
Front toe: adjusted to 0 toe on front
Rear toe: left at 0.75mm toe in each side
Rear camber: adjusted to -1.5deg both sides
Front camber: Couldn't adjust

Was surprised settings were so far out.

Any thoughts on front camber adjustment? Couldn't see how to do it without loosening top mounts/opening holes. Are new cam bolts needed?:shrug:

Have found another spot nearby with a Corghi system that gives print outs, so might give them a bash and see how they compare
