This is Krystenna, George Smiths wife. He is in school and the shop that has our car needs the "spec" to aline the wheels. (Some numbers that you put into a computer.) Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi Krystenna,
You have some different options, here is a link Link
Scroll to the bottom of the page.

The autox will cause the tires to wear a bit sooner than the stock settings, but will handle better.

Hey. I checked out the suspension page and I did not see any numbers. I need the numbers! I see the list of number that Jamey gave, but I am not sure if he wants to do stock numbers or the auotox(?). Please will someone give the stock numbers so that I can give both to the mechanic? Thanks in advance

Ok... The link that you gave me is "AUTO-X Suspension" numbers right? ..and those numbers make the tires wear more right? If all that is true, than what are the number to NOT make them wear fast. Sorry I am not all high speed when it comes to this stuff. T.Y.

I do not think george will care if the tires wear out a little quicker if it helps in the corners. I changed mine and it is alot more stable in the corners.

By the way, I am pretty sure G would prefer the AutoX setup too ;)
