Well, first impressions (maybe placebo, maybe not)

- The car seems to be eager to turn. More planted in the turns.
- Firmer steering in comfort mode (I really like it).
- Less dead zone

For the moment, a few km, I like the feeling.

I have some concerns, because in the alignment, they set this:

BEFORE

Front
- Camber: -0º 42' Left -1º 25' Right
- Toe: 0º 1' Left 0º 1' Right
- Caster: 6º 29' Left 6º 32' Right

AFTER

Front
- Camber: 1º 24' Left 2º 38' Right
- Toe: 0º 3' Left 0º 3' Right
- Caster: 7º 33' Left 7º 44' Right


The gain of 1º of caster is normal? I installed the TS too

The rear is OK (~ -1º 44' , -1º 49' and toe 0º 6')

The thing is the differente between left front camber and right front camber. The left is in the range I expected (~1,5 degrees), has 1 more degree than expected.

They told me that they spin all the wheels and they found that the front right wheel is lightly bent in a point (almost not appreciable for an human eye when it is in the car).
As I had not any accident, it probably is due to a big bumper that maybe bent the suspension.

They say that if tyre wear is ok, they wouldn´t change anything but, for me, it seems like a lot of difference and negative cambier (is my DD, and I usually do spirit driving , track very ocasionally). I guess I will wear the inner faster thant the outside...

What do you think?


UPDATE: left front side is side like 4mm lower than the right side
