I'm 2k km/s into ownership and got a wheel alignment today. Wow, talk about a difference. The floaty, disconnected feeling that was bugging me has gone. The car now feels planted right though the corners and on throttle. Best money I've spent so far.

If you're a new owner I highly recommend it, the best performance upgrade you'll do for under $100.

Sorry, do you mind giving more details on this? Maybe I'm just missing a prior thread or something.

No previous thread, that's just 'what I did to my Supra today'. Car wasn't feeling great on throttle. It would float and it just didn't feel confident in corners. A simple wheel alignment at a local performance shop and the cars character has improved dramatically. Quite a relief TBH.

The factory alignment has such large tolerances that it even if 'in spec' you can have each wheel set substantially differently to one another. That might be bearable in an SUV or a Camry but not a performance orientated car.

Planning upgrading the sway bars to Whiteline in the Black Friday sales. That should make the handling just about perfect for my needs.

Mind sharing the before and after alignment sheet? I’m curious.
