[s-cars] Bilstein/Eibach Installed -Aligments Done

[Southerlin, Russell S]

BTW - I ended up going with the 10mm spacer in the rear. Car sits a
shade higher in rear which I like better than a shade lower.

Well my Homebrew alignment was right on the money for camber - fronts
were -.8deg, rears were -.2deg. The shop did not have to even adjust the
camber. I used a set of those laser levels to do Homebrew alignment -
worked pretty good.

Toe is another story. I always thought + toe is toe out and - toe is toe
in?  So I set my Homebrew front alignment at .09deg toe out on each side
or 0.180deg total toe since spec is +.08deg to +.33deg total toe. Well,
the initial readings on their computerized machine show right at
-0.180deg total toe. After much discussion and working with the tech I
determine that the machine (Hunter computer alignment) sets +toe as toe
in?? I watched him very carefully as he adjusted all four tires, as he
moved the tires from toe out to toe in the machines readout moved from
negative to positive toe??  I have searched the archives to no avail.
Can anyone confirm our + spec. for toe is toe in or toe out?

After I thought about it I am wondering if toe in with negative camber
would be best for tire wear so I went ahead and trusted the machine and
let him do his thing.

I had same issue on rears - I set them toe out and machine interpreted
the + toe spec. as toe in.

Anyway, car drives like a dream. Steering wheel is strait does not pull
and all around feels better that it has in the 1+ years I have owned it
(which leads me to believe maybe toe in is correct?). Very happy with
ride and handling of the Bilstein/Eibachs.
