Default S Type R Alignment specs

So, as luck would have it, I'm replacing my tires this weekend and getting an alignment done (I had a run-in with a pothole and, as all the tires have about had it, it's time). I was reading in a thread "S-Type Alignment Specs--after pothole damage" that the shop may not have the correct specs (local joint), and saw that androulakis was kind enough to put the correct specs into a word document, but I got the the dreaded "you ain't got permission" notification when I tried to view them. Assuming I can't get that "rev limiter" removed from my account just yet --I understand why it's there--can someone either send it to me or point me toward the equivalent? I've got an 03 S Type R, and I'm having a full alignment done after new tires are installed this Saturday. Thanks guys and gals!

Take a peek at this thread, a little lengthy but towards the end my specs are pretty much right on.

All 03+ S Types.

They all share the same suspension geometry

All right, guys, I'm going in! I've printed Bull27's (Joe's) last specs from Town Fair (thanks Joe!), and am heading to get the Nittos installed, and then to the alignment shop. My dream is that the guy/girl looks at me knowingly, says "I've done this before, my son," and sets it correctly on the first go, eyes shut. I am hopeful, but not confident. I'll post my specs (if the site will let me) when I get back, and will cross my fingers. Wish me luck! (and not the kind of luck that has seemed to plague the jag forum members here lately... lol).

Easiest is click the Go Advanced just below the Quick Reply box.

Then type your post and use the Manage Attachments button (scroll down to see it). It pulls up a dialog where you typically need to click in the box to enter a file name (and on my system that opens another dialog to choose the file).

Hey, noob here, but if someone could email me the new updated alignment specs for my new (to me) '03 STR that would be great. I'll be purchasing two new rears very soon.

Default Trying again...

So... it looks like I'm limited to tiny files. I tried to get this one small enough while still keeping it legible. Don't know if I succeeded. Let me know if you can read it and, if so, if these look okay. Thanks!

That one's OK (a bit hard to read, but OK).

Just the rear left camber is a bit out (aim is -0.54 +- 0.75) but not by much and I'd think no biggie at all.

Front toe looks just as Brutal would like it

I love the way the form says "except Supercharged"!!
