alignment issuse 91 fc
list of mods:
DGR coilovers
Energy Suspension bushing
new front brakes
my problem is the alignment on the driver side is maxed out for camber and still not stright up and down. i have no adjustability. before i put the suspension bushing in it wasnt maxed out. i have a new control arm and spindle that im going to try and see if that fixes the problem. the coilover are not even a year old yet. im just wondering what else could be bent or if i did something wrong install the brushing. maybe someone here has had the same problem

so you're trying to get 0* of camber?
that's a bad idea... the car needs at least -1* of camber for street use.... I run -3.5* on my car for racing... it'll handle very poorly with 0* of camber.
it you really want more camber, it looks like if you unbolt and spin your camber plate 180* it'll have slightly more adjustment towards positive....

Forget factory spec. As far as I'm concerned, 1 to 2 degrees negative is a totally reasonable range for most street-only cars. It is totally worth the slight reduction in tire life to get significantly greater cornering grip. Keep toe minimized and tire life will be fine, maybe 10-15% less but totally worth it, *especially* for a sports car! Going to track or autoX as well as street? 2 - 3 degrees negative is, to me, a good compromise range.

when i got my alignment done the guy told me factory was -0.5. the thing is my alignment is more the -3 from the print out they gave me but i got it wet and cant read the numbers right or i would post it on here. im trying to get the car to stop pulling to the left. i want to get whatever the problem is fixed so that i can have some adjustment for track use.
