Share Your Alignment Specs

I just got my alignment done last night and wanted to share the info. I've seen that other people posted their alignment info in other threads but thought it might be handy to consolidate it into one. Here are my setup, specs and impressions.

Stock Suspension

Impressions:
Haven't driven the car much since I got it done but turn in feels stronger. I will report back after a run through the twisties.

KW V3 Coilvers, 15mm drop, stock wheels, 225s front, 265 rears. 95% street driving.

Front Camber: -2.6 L, -2.6 R
Front Caster: 6.0 L, 6.2 R
Front Toe: 0.05 degrees inwards, both sides
Front camber was achieved without plates by using the Turner camber bolt kit mentioned on another thread here.

Rear Camber: -1.6 L, -1.6 R
Rear Toe: 0.04 L, 0.03 R

Car turns in smartly and holds the road freakin' great. Just a hint of understeer left at the limit.

Corner balancing coming next week ; )

So far so good. I unfortunately don't take her out as much as I once did, so there's not enough miles since the alignment to really give a good answer. I DID want a more aggressive street setup though, and it's definitely noticeable (handling). I still figure the tires will expire before they wear out.

BTW... only have done about 1000miles since alignment (2 months ago), to put it in perspective.
