The car in my pic above is on 265/35/18 Toyo's.

I'd prefer not trying to explain how to string a car here online (it's straight forward) I just dont have time today to write it up.
To set toe like this, you only need four jack stands, tape measure (I use steel rules) and string (I use fishing line/on reels) |

For the rear, we *could* use just toe plates humm..
|
what are 'toe-plates'?

I have no idea what roads are like where you are but I do most of my driving on what are known as B roads which are typically narrow, twisty and a bit bumpy. The steering reacts even quicker than it used to and doesn't track the road cambers too much. |
Woodsman,
Toe plates: The only issue with making some or using these? No way to get the thrust angle correct (think dog tracking) http://www.norcalcrx.org/tyson/pics/longacre1.jpg |
Aligning the Supersport - YouTube
I worked for Jackson and with Eric back in our Grand Am Nissan 350Z days (The Playboy cars) I promise this video will teach you everything you need to know about performing your own alignment. Instead of using the smart strings, you can use jack stands to "make the box" around the car. |

ah thanks for that Brad! I'll check it out. I think I'm going to pull the eccentrics out and inspect them- the camber ones wouldn't spin all the way around in both directions on either side but they'd max out IN or OUT so I didn't worry about it. |
UPDATE; The eccentrics seem fine so I bought and installed Speedpro's adjustable toe rod bars. Car then was aligned without any probs and all is good to go. The rear suspension on these cars have a narrow range of adjustment. 5/8" beyond standard (Porsche offered) and you're in a heap of trouble! They are engineered to the nth degree!
