Has anyone checked their alignment settings?

[d1zguy]

This is one of those things I always check even on a new car. It's rare I find the settings to be right or even from new or used cars whether CPO or otherwise. With that said does anyone know the stock alignment settings? What can be adjusted stock and the limits of adjustment?

Here's the best guess so far:
http://www.civicx.com/threads/official-alignment-specs.10555/#post-181720

And written from cmanman's photo in that post:

For future reference in case the image breaks:

(all in degrees of angle)
Front specs --
Camber: -0.8 to +0.2
Caster: 4.8 to 5.8
Toe: -0.08 to +0.08

Rear --
Camber: -2.0 to -0.5
Toe: 0.04 to 0.16

Add to the above:
The rear specs call for a hair of toe-in (I'm usually confused about which is 'positive toe' and 'negative toe'). This is meant to balance the car towards understeer; pretty standard for factory alignments.

^^^ Those are likely the specs. Also, the rear camber is not adjustable from the factory but you can install aftermarket SPC rear camber arms to take care of that. This is essentially required when/if you lower the car.

Good stuff. Thanks for the info.
