Default Question for people with OTG camber shims

If you've had an alignement done, how much was your toe off? and what is your drop and wheel width and offset?

TIA

i havent had an alignment done, but toe is DEFINETLY noticeable.

im on tanabe df210's going to tein basics soon, and as you know im on Lover Souls and they are 17x7 +25 . i also have the OTG hub spacers so i guess that makes my effective rear offset +15. im sorry i dont have more info. i hope this helps

I am still planning to lower the car some more, and space out my wheels more too....I was just wondering how bad my toe can get.

My rears wheels toe out just a bit past specified range...
L: +0.34 R: +0.61
Specified range: 0.00 to +0.33

BTW, I'm runing Garson camber shims right now....definitely not as nice as OTG. Both have toe correction, but OTG looks much higher quality.

my alignment toe was only .01 with the camber shims....from what i've heard, they are made to be optimal at like a 2.5" drop....not sure if thats true though, but no complaints from me after going on the alignment rack

Bringing this thead back to life,I haven't been around lately Can you guys post your rear camber measurements too?

Lowered with Goldlines,rear camber shims are OTG. Installed them myself @ work and put the car on the alignment rack right after. I didn't check alignment before the shim installation.

Camber was almost the same on both sides: -4.1 degs driver side,-4.3 passenger side (looks very agressive). As a comparison,the fronts are 0.8 driver side,-1.2 passenger side.

Rear toe is pretty positive (toed out)
Driver: -.14
Passenger = -.06

I didn't do any adjustments afterwards. I'm installing Specialty Products 75800 rear shims to adjust rear toe back to zero,then readjust the front angles (camber,toe).
