It's not adjustable apparently?
It's not adjustable apparently?
While I think getting everything straight and true is an excellent idea and something I do at least once a year I question how much 'tweaking' will benefit people in 'normal' road cars unless you are tracking it or it's built to be adjusted fully, which most production cars aren't. Great idea getting it 'sorted' but many of these systems are only as good as the people using them. I have seen alignments done at one place, checked at another and being quite different. Buy with caution is my advice and aim for someone like Centre of Gravity or other well respected set up specialists if you are going to get it done, and expect to pay more for it. My GT3 took 6 hours to do as an example...
The machines are good but it makes no difference if the guy using it is incompetent.
I just had mine done at a local place, and they declared that they couldn't do anything with the rear left camber as the nut was on too tight and they might damage it, having just tried to undo it with a 12 sided socket.
I only have 34000km on the car and 28000km of those were in Japan. It hasn't rusted under there at all, god help them if they ever have to do a car with some actual rust on it.
End result is my car now handles worse than when I took it there. At least when it went in the camber was equal all around.
Going to look into some lowering springs which should bring the camber closer to vertical anyway, and then get it aligned somewhere that actually knows what they are doing.
Have a look on driftworks, I think they sell upper arms to alter the camber on the Ceffiro. It look like you are running negative camber already and lowering it will make it worse

Capt Doufos,
You want to get a fast road setup for yours, not just the stock setting. Here is the fast road setup that WIM did for me.
