Your fuel economy should shoot through the roof now that there is that .03 difference of degrees!

Looks awesome btw I would so steal your car if I saw it. I would load it up in a enclosed trailer so even on the streets you could not find it, you would be so screwed! haha jk jk only if it were turbo ;)

.03 degrees? Is there even a point in touching it for that?

Damn, you are picky. But, if you can do it for nothing, why not?




We have some corner-weight scales at school that I intend to make use of in the fall. I just wish we had an alignment rack. A 2' level and a stringline will get me close for a temporary alignment though.

I didn't really need to mess with it, but it felt a tiny bit off when driving. it only just starts to get out of spec at .05, so yeah no real point. :P

Yeah, but if you have the ability to play with something like that, then take full advantage of it!

Have you done anything with camber correction yet?

I set both fronts @ -.50, and I need to find something to correct my rear. it's too much @ -1.3 I want to stay at the edge of factory spec, but still have some cornering ability. spec is 0.0, but that's no fun. I have to try to find a camber adjust for my rears. all my toe sets are 0.0 I haven't tracked it yet, so I am a little conservative on the settings. plus it's my DD with alot of miles driven, so I would like to keep some tire life. :wink: if I ever do track it, i'll just adjust as needed.

If you want to fiddle get some rear camber bolts from H&R and others...nice....

I need adjustable lateral links. the rear suspension on the newer legacies don't use a eccentric bolt in the strut anymore.
