Is DIY a proper alignment a taboo..?

[steved0x]

I'm running -3 front with zero toe and rear -2.2 with 1.5mm toe in per side in rear, measured over a 15" span. This was the alignment I did after installing my PSS9, and i was the same, swore i would never do another suspension. I used my hub stands and my smart strings, but this time i used the end rods on some jack stands instead of attaching the smart strings to the car.

The car really feels good, levelling the base for the car is really important and i think that is why my first attempt was not as "good"

I've had this setup at VIR, Sebring, The FIRM, and Roebling, and it rocked. I'm going to be doing my alignments from now on. I might even buy one of those arms that holds the steering wheel in the center, that was a hassle

Sounds like you nailed it

Ps yes i would add a little toe in, in the back, before your next track day.

My garage isn't level, and while i had some plywood squares, vinyl tiles, and 4 thin steel squares for the wheels on my husbands, i didn't do a good job of making them all the same and i think it messed my camber up by a little.

Steve,

After lowering the subframe to install a front GT3 bar, and decided to do another alignment, again, using with your measurements as I liked the way the car felt.

However, after re-reading your post, t you used 1.5mm toe-in on the rear wheels 'measured over a 15" span'

The question is: What would be my true toe if I measured 1.5mm of toe-in at 20" ..? (my car has 20" wheels)

The curiosity killed the cat ..ha
