i read the alignment specs and that's why i am saying, get a real alignment.

when i bought my xA it understeered like a pig.

now i can off-throttle oversteer any time i choose.

find another FWD car that will handle like that FROM THE FACTORY and i'll be surprised

the alignment tech gets the car in the 'green zone' and walks away. it's not his job to get the car perfect, he's only getting paid $13-20 to align your car.

you want to walk around back, talk to the tech himself, find out what he charges to do alignments after hours (and they all do, i do) and get to know him. chances are he'll WANT to get the car the way you like it because you're paying him cash.

and yes, absolutely, camber bolts, hub spacers *cough cough* and a couple washers under those lower front hub bolts will make all the difference.
