There's no different specs required for lower. The numbers for straightness don't change...

What you might need is a camber kit.

Maybe Someone Could Look at this and decipher it for me.... It's what I got from Goodyear after alignment.

PDF File.

Excuse the greasy finger prints. You can pretty see whats on the left and match it to the right, and vice versa.

Any explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like the only thing thats out of their "specified range" is caster (and not by much either). The big ones are camber and toe. Too much toe either way eats tires, some negative camber is good for handling, caster doesn't have as much effect as either of these AFAIK.

my 6 was within spec even after i put the eibachs on, the specs allow for a lot of variance. i would find a shop than can work with lowered cars.
