Just lowered the car this past weekend with Steeda Sport. 1 iso rear, and no iso's front. Took the car to my local ford dealership to get it aligned. I knew going in that it was going to be off alot. Get the call saying they couldn't align it. These are the specs
LEFT FRONT RIGHT FRONT
Camber -1.2 Degrees Camber -1.3 degree
Caster 3.9 degrees Caster 3.2 degree
Toe 0.41 degrees Toe -0.12 degree

LEFT REAR RIGHT REAR
Camber -0.8 Camber -1.1 degree
Toe 0.30 degree Toe 0.27 degree

Total toe FRONT 0.28
Stear Ahead 0.27

Total toe REAR 0.57
Thrust Angle 0.02

So my question is do I need to get Caster/Camber plates and which is best? Or take it somewhere else and let someone get as close as possible and still be just alittle off. Everyones help is greatly appreciated. Looking for some Alignment GURU.

Also I just had new tires put on before this. We have a big meet in our area this friday. Will I be safe enough/ making the tires bad in just the next week?

I'd add the plates, but then, I think aligment is pretty important. Looks like the alignment 'technician' gave up when he couldn't just one of the settings to spec . if he charged you money for it, go back and kick him in the nuts.

as long as you dont go too far, you won't ruin your tires in a few days.

Just get the plates. They aren't that expensive, and they flexibility they give you is nice to have.
