so reading the above chart:


Toe measurement 1/16 inch or 0.0625 inch = Toe angle 8.95251minutes

then using my friend google to do the math:
0.0625 inches = 1.5875 millimetres

Quote from: Laurenzo;694182Chaps!  Just been along to a laser alignment garage to get the wheels facing in the right direction after a massive rebuild of the suspension on my FD. Told the very helpful chappie that I would like 1/16th toe in on the front, he asked what is that in metric? Doh! like I know.
 
Anyone on here give me a conversion please.

That would put me off using the place - there are so many alignment places that employ monkeys....:rolleyes:
Single Turbo time!

yes I agree with you, all I need is all the wheels facing in the right direction so that I can then drive it to a place that will corner weight it, and set up the camber etc ready for the track.

cool - kwik fit job then! Just get them set up both pointing forwards. :yes

Anyone know what is the maximum amount of negative front camber you can get without major mods?
Drifty drifty...

Gaz.

When I went to get mine aligned, I had -4 up front just from lowering it (albeit quite far)
