Default Alignment results...

Just wanted to share my alignment results with others especially the noobies out there like myself who want to lower there on coilovers and nothing else...

Setup:

Vehicle - '01 GS300

Suspension - BC Coilovers, New Ball joints, worn LCAB #2, no camber correction kit

Shoes - Stock 17's (GS430 rims) with brand new Sumitomo HTR A/S P01 235/45/17

Ride Height - 25" (zero gap) from the ground to the fender, front & rear

As much I would like to ride (-), I can't afford to since this is my daily commuter and I can't be buying tires every 8-12mths even if I did rotate them! Currently shopping/searching for camber kits.

Camber adjustments MAXED OUT!!!

Your alignment specs are actually really good for zero wheel gap. I don't know how you got your rear toe to be that low with zero gap and no aftermarket tie rod end links from FIGS. Your negative camber is only -1.5. That's nothing. What is the most concern is TOE, but it's correctly in specs. Tire brand does play a role in treadlife too. There are camber adjustments if you buy the SPC kit which was mentioned in the Suspension Forum if you search. In ethics, your specs are mighty fine to me. GL

So I've done my research on camber kits taking in consideration on my current specs (please correct me if I'm wrong). If I was to install front RCA's and re-adjust my height at the same setting it should decrease my camber by or close to +1 which should put me within spec with the adjustment of the factory camber or will this have me maxed out still? I was thinking about the UCA's from SPC but I'm not that way off from spec.

This would also go for the adjustable rear RCA's?

I just want to make sure that I'm reading all this info correctly. Thanks CL members...
