After finishing up the air ride install and adjustable upper control arms, I went in for an alignment. I asked them for this:
Front
Camber: -2.5 deg (per side)
Toe: 0 (or up 0.10 deg total toe in)
Rear
Camber: -1.5 to -2 deg (per side)
Toe: 0.20 total toe in (IIRC this is 1/8" total toe in)
I had that done in August. The picture below shows how it turned out.
I just put new rotors and calipers on the front. And in the process of doing that, I noticed that I have 0 tread left on my rear tires. They are evenly worn across the surface, but they are completely done. The front tires look great.
I bought the tires used and I knew that 2 of them were a little lower in tread than the others, but it wasn't that far off. It is certainly possible that they just wore out, but I didn't think it was going to happen quite that fast. It caught me a little off guard. I just want to make sure that my alignment numbers are ok before I switch to winter tires and have an issue with them, too.
