Before -1.4 front camber -0.16 front toe out (the springs definitely settled some more in the last 2.5k miles since the last alignment, throwing the toe out. the springs now have a total of 3k mi. on them so hopefully they're done settling) -1.8 rear camber 0.21 rear toe in After -1.4 front camber (no change) .08 front toe in -1.7 rear camber (so much for taking out some rear camber) 0.16 rear toe in Bottom line on this story is I need to find a speed shop to get my next alightment done if I want anything different than factory spec, which is cool. I just like these guys and giving them my business when I can. I'll keep buying tires here but will go elsewhere for alignments. He only charged me for a 2 wheel alignment, $54, even though he did all four. Again, they're good to me. I'd like to try out some of suggestions with camber and toe above. Just need to find the right shop around here to do it. Quote:
Thanks again for the help guys. +1Rep to you all

I wouldn't sweat the nitrogen, but go along with everything else.
I get my alignment done at a speed shop that does regular repair work as well, they don't charge me any more for a custom alignment than they do for a traditional one. Doesn't bat an eye if you ask for -3.5 degrees of camber. BTW, I don't know where your guy's computer is getting it's specs from, but the factory specs for the rear are as follows. Any request for a setting within that range should be considered fairly normal. Sounds like he just dialed it to the nominal setting, which is what most repair shops are trained to do. Camber: Minimum -2.16 Nominal -1.67 Maximum -1.17 Total toe-in: Minimum 0.09 Nominal 0.15 Maximum 0.21
