My Alignment Numbers...Cool?

What's up fellas! I just got my alignment done on my car Thursday, and so far so good. I was a little concerned about going to the right shop, for the suspension I used, to do the alignment. Here are the specs, is everything cool? (The service guy said it was, but it ain't until my AZ bros tell me it is! )

Looks fine- keep it off the curb shots so the right side toe doesnt get knocked out again

Dayum! Is that what that is? I put a lil hurting on my 17s the last few months. Drive-thrus and parking too close to the curb to stay away from people! LOL!

Thanks for the positive on the numbers!

unless they have made great changes to the TL since gen2,
you can only adjust the toe.

Exception to those with installed aftermarket camber kits- then you can adjust that as well- if dropped -thats what you really need to do to keep the numbers and tires good- camber kit

I have a rear camber kit installed. I wish that my alignment sheet looked like that, it makes it hella clearer! I was like "what?" when I first looked at mine. LOL!

^Correct camber is not adjustable on a 3G TL unless you get a camber kit, my car is lowered and still the camber is only slightly off in the rear, the front is within the specs. I have no camber kit and there is no need for it really unless you are slammed and wanna have pretty align numbers, like you said. Damn even then severe negative camber shouldn't hurt the tires much. It's all in the toe! Just look at the BMW X5, now that's crazy negative camber, and it's like that from the factory! One of the reasons that truck handles so good.

I think a bit more negative camber is a good thing! My car is lowered, no camber kit, no need!
