DodgyRog Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Not really sure what you are after. When mine went to ProTyre they just aligned on the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Do you really want stock alignment? (it's a bit granny-like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Are you talking just tracking or camber and caster also If just tracking then any good tyre place should do it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulj1 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 i'm after camber, caster settings it is going to a friends garage who builds and maintains rally cars but he just asked me to get the factory settings so he has rough idea where to start from then take it from there. Its rubbing insides of all 4 tyres off but its not been done for last 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Restorer Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 To reduce the inside tyre wear on my own car I changed to the Lance W alignment settings. Do a search. Just to add, they worked very well for me with better handling than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 HI I m just about to have wheel alignment done and need all the factory settings for my TT supra can anyone help please as I'm sick of buying new front tyres lol Thanks Paul If you have factory toyota wheels, tyre sizes and factory coilovers and your Supra has not drastically changed weight then factory alignment settings will be the best for tyre wear versus performance compromise. Each alignment centre should have the factory settings on their computer (or at least on some sort of chart). I would only recommend going for an alternative alignment only if you are (1) wanting to change the handling characteristics of the car or (2) have had some aftermarket suspension or anti-roll bars etc. fitted and/or wheel offsets changed. The factory alignment on a stock car is a good 'safe' set up. Toyota engineered the car to first understeer on corners to let the driver know when the limit is reached.... you don't necesarrily want a setting that oversteers first when the limit is reached.

AJI Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 ah...just realised that you have already had an alignment done... what settings did you request in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
