Alignment Advice for Staggered Setup
I have researched alignment specs to death and still need some advice on what specs to use. I have a '04 RX-8 which I just installed Tein S-Tech springs on last week. I have 19" Staggered Axish Hiro rims I will be mounting. My tire sizes will be a 235 up front and a 265 in the rear. The car will only be street driven...no track days, no auto x! With that said I found these specs on the forum:
Front
camber -1.2L/R
caster 6.9L/R
Toe 0.00L/R
Rear
camber -1.3L/R
toe 0.3L/R
If I am running a wider tire in the rear should my rear settings be different? Should I attempt to use these settings or just use the stock settings which
I also found on here. Also, do I need to put my aftermarket wheels on for the appropriate settings or can I keep the stock wheels on? My major problem is that I have no good performance alignment shops in my area. Mazda said they can't do the alignment because it is lowered. Firestone won't touch the car because they insist I need a camber kit which I tried explaining that I don't. I have one other shop which I have used for my lifted vehicles that do good honest alignments. They use a Laser Bee alignment rack. I may opt to use these guys since I have no other options. Any input would help!
