    Camber/ Toe specs for setup

    I have been having a tough time getting an alignment from a shop because they keep saying from aftermarket springs/shocks. I have an 88is on touring bilsteins and ebach pro springs. I have hard pull to the left and it is really getting annoying. Anyone know the proper camber/toe I should get this set at? Thanks in advance.

    If the only suspension changes are the springs, the only adjustment is front toe. Lowering the car will increase camber, but unless it is asymmetrical that will not cause the car to pull. A more likely cause of a pull will be a thrust angle from worn rear suspension bushings or a bent trailing arm.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I forgot to mention it's at higher speeds. It doesn't do it as hard in town.

          Also of note, if the place you are having it aligned either:
          A) Hasn't figured out front Toe is the only adjustment they can make
          or
          B) Can't figure out how to properly adjust the toe
          then I would take it someplace else asap. Aligning the toe on these cars is nothing special, and different springs does not effect how the toe is aligned.
