Alignment after RSR Springs

[jliuod]

I am very pleased with the way the RSR springs made the car looked as well as the improved performance. Keep in mind I have 15mm/20mm spacers F/B.

Today I had an alignment done. The technician was the same person who did my Miata a while back. He was very engaging with me throughout the whole process. I had some specific alignment numbers in mind. He was very patient to make sure I was happy with the numbers.

Here are the final specs on my alignment.

I would love to see pictures of the rsr with 15/20 spacers.

Which spacers did you use

I will try to take some photos today. I just used some generic spacers. I have used generic spacers on many cars and had absolutely no issues at all. Most of the so called "brand name" spacers are all manufactured in China anyway.

Ah ok ive read in previous threads that 15mm spacers in the front ran into some issues. So I was curious.

You are correct. I actually found this issue out myself. My front wheels were stuck to the hub after I installed the bolt with the 15mm spacers. The stock studs were a tad longer for the 15mm spacers. What happened was I was compressing the studs slightly into the back of the wheels. I had to use a block of wood and hit it with a hammer from the inside of the wheels to knock them off. No big deal. There were indentations in the back of the wheels caused by the studs. I did not want to go through the hassles of replacing the stock studs with shorter ones. I used a round die grinder to slightly smooth out the indentations and now my wheels fit with the 15mm spacers without binding.
