Default Wheel aligment settings

Hey,

going to have my car 4 wheel alignment done, anybody have some settings to use? I'd like a fast road setup but will that knock the edge off my tyres?

thanks,Ben it's an 03 STi with coilovers.

If you can get it to Carnetix in Melton Mowbray, their guys, (and gal), are brilliant at this. They transformed my Scoob, it feels tighter, and more planted right up to the limit.

They will discuss what you want, what can be done and the effect on tyre wear etc before doing anything.

Highly recommended.

With coilovers you need someone that knows what they're doing as heights have to be set as well, so you need a specialist (Scoobyclinic, Powerstation etc) and not an ordinary garage/tyre service. Pulling could be due to thrust angle error (where the rears point relative to the front, set via rear toe adjusters).
