Alignment

[Eddie21]

Not sure what’s up with my alignment, toe specifically? Any input on how to fix it? I’m lowered on H&R. I went to an alignment shop but not sure if they didn’t do it well or if I need to do something else? Any info would help. TIA

What issues are you having?
That alignment looks fine, though I run zero toe in the front..
with that said it does make the car a little twitchy..
Definitely want toe in the rear for stability at speed..

I’m worried about my tire wear in regards to the Right Rear? From what I read it’s more so the toe rather than camber that chews tire? If I’m understanding it correctly. So I was just seeing if my alignment is “ok” I guess. I’m not tracking or doing anything, this is my daily.

You are correct that toe wears the tire ( extreme toe)..
but I don’t think that’s excessive.. plus the total toe is well within spec..

I not an expert, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in..

Could always take the car back to the shop n ask them to readjust the rear toe?

Yeah I’m just not wanting to go through tires lol. Thank you for the input though

I run more rear toe than you but I don’t care about tire wear. It’s about handling for me. You could step it down to .25 degrees total and will still be stable and not kill your tires.

-2.0 left side -1.8 right side
0.12* toe left side 0.27* right side

That alignment tech is either on drugs, hates his job, or hates you. I would bring it back and get a better job done or go somewhere else that doesn't suck.

I'd take that to a different shop for an alignment. Your "after" specs look worse than my "before" ones from prior to the alignment I got after installing lowering springs.

Small/minute differences side to side aren't the end of the world (Like an extra -.01 degrees of toe or something) but it looks like your alignment tech didn't even try.

For reference, these are my before and after on an otherwise stock car with just lowering springs installed.

Thank you. I’m gonna use this as reference cause I’m just on lowering springs as well.

Yup, goin to a performance shop now. Thank you

I took mine to my buddies at the Lexus dealer - they had to take the rack apart to get my car on it....

Here is what they got for me with Swift Springs:

On H&R springs as well and these were my results.

There’s a performance shop right next door to the Lexus where I was thinking of taking my car. Now I gotta decide which one out of the two. Thanks for the info.

Thank you. I’ll use as reference. Should I show the shop this before they even start the alignment?

You can give them what you would like to shoot for. Definitely go to a performance shop over dealership. Cost me $200 for the alignment but was done right the first time.

Can't adjust front camber much without additional parts so that is what it is. All I asked was 0.0 toe in front with maximum camber allowable and 0.10 toe in on rear with -2.0 camber. Car was night and day difference handling wise. Recently just did my femto unlock with MHD stage 2 and it still launches pretty straight with the increased power, super happy so far.
