Unless you of course, is master street racer and corners at maximum speed on the street and need all the oversteer/understeer ratios correct.

Or you did not read what I wrote and meant, and did not bother to read what Luxo wrote and meant either.

i have had something similar one time. got the alignment and it was about the same or it was just about off. i thought it was a waste of money but in the end, my tires did last a bit longer if i didnt have it done.

@mikez - thanks for the advice for the 0 degree toe.
Thanks SOP, this is the real comment I want to hear, and I will take mikez words to take my car back to get 0 degree toe I hope they can get to 0 degree toe.

I noticed that his printout reads "Standard Suspension".

I have 2 for my car, 1 is standard and the other is "Sport Suspension".

Which one should our cars be aligned to if we have F-Sport springs? is there a difference?

I think if they do alignment on our cars as the standard suspension specs, it should be better set up the the tires last longer than they do the Sport suspension alignment specs? I might be wrong, but I like the to do alignment on my car as standard suspension set up better with that my tires still run as the factory specs even I lowered my car. so far my alignment specs in the factory specs
