Ok I've just had a geo done today and the only thing that wasn't in spec at the end was the right front caster.

      left front                right front
camber -1º13'             camber -1º08'

caster 7º41'               caster7º09' (range 7º17' to 8º17')

toe 0º05'                    toe 0º05'

Is this something to be worried about as it apparently can't be adjusted on my car...   :sad1:

You need the subframe squaring up at a guess.

If Camskill don't have them, or the price goes up, they have them for £114 + £3 postage

Maybe we could get the admins to clean up this tread so it's only about the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and not other tyres or geo setups??  :sad1:

Over the top mod list ;o)
