alignment setting for lowered car

Does anyone has a setting for a lowered car? Mine is lowered to 24 at the rear and 24.75 in front.

Just redid my front a arm bushing, turbo tie rod ends, new ball joints. Now I'm getting it aligned. The alignment tech said he can align it to any setting I want.

I remember someone posted a setting that is for street use.

Thanks in advance.

John

For street use, you can use the factory specs. However, you may have problems dialing in the camber lowered that much. If you can get both sides 1 - 1.25 degree negative, that would be a good street/performance compromise without eating tires much.

Chuck,

What about toe? My car ran out of adjustment and they couldn't get zero in the front.

Forget factory specs, they can only be done at factory height. Below that, you do what you can to minimize excessive negative camber.

Or if that's what you're looking for, there you have it.

"As long as it isn't factory," is what he forgot to mention.
