Alignment

[Eddie21]

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.

Thanks man. Yeah I lowered it and drove for a week to let the springs settle and felt fine, but took it to get an alignment and now feels like the back is gonna walk out anytime I accelerate regardless from a dig or roll.

Put like .15* to .20* toe in on each side in the rear, and make it even.

Thank you man, I really appreciate the help.

I recall that the Thrust Angle needs to be as close to 0.0 as possible for stability. Also, front camber is not adjustable stock from factory, if the shop gives you a sheet that indicates (or tells you) they adjusted front camber explicitly, well you went to the wrong shop.

So from the BMW side (as the Supra IS a BMW suspension)... you WANT the toe values from left to right to match, like dead on... like if the left is .1 , the right should be .1.

BMWs are SUPER sensitive to toe-values being matching.
Toe not matching in the rear will send your back end sideways on hard throttle. Toe not matching in the front will make your car seem VERY vague going into turns or wander at highway speeds.

For the front... most people like a *slight* toe-in (which looks like this / \ if you were looking over the top of the tires) to keep the handling nice and crisp... I *think* something like .1"

For the rear, the auto-x guys do like .11" to .15" per side toe in also to keep the rear end in place without sacrificing speed.

If I had to be super simple about it, it's more about matching values per side than it is about .XX values.

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback. I’ll be getting my new alignment hopefully next week.
