Bevan, figures are good.

Front camber is set to suit your aggressive style of driving and will work well on track day.

Caster is huge. I didn't think an NB with that camber could achieve a caster setting that high. Most are about 1.5 degrees lower. You may find that you loose a little "feel" through the wheel, though is will centre quickly.

Front and rear toe-in is a good set up for the road.

I think they have done an excellent job for you. 8)

Thanks for the reply Phil. Yeah it does feel alot better on the road. Yeah I just told him maximum caster whilst keeping camber between 1.2 and 1.5. Couldn't beleive that much was acheived. :shock:

Only downside is that I was sitting in the shop for 2 hours :cry:. Customer service from Mark wasn't his greatest strength. He said about 45min to an hour, which is fine, so I went down to Henry Street and visited Geoffro's shop and a couple of others. One hour turned into two without anyone telling me. The little Pakistani bloke that did the actual alignment was a good bloke though.

I wouldn't have minded two hours if he said that as soon as I walked in. I could have gone to Bigdog's (only 15min away) and come back. I just didn't like being bullsh**ed. Happy with the alignment though! :)
