It's off to the alignment shop this week with the V6 Alpine and was going to use the stock Alpine alignment settings but then thought i would pose the question of settings to those with a v6 as to what the settings should be. thanks Earl blu oval

Alignment settings for V6

I had my first V6 Alpine's front end set to factory specs and took a copy from the Rootes Manual with a copy of all the info from the book, giving it to the alignment shop. Since the V6 weighs nearly the same as the original 4 cylinder, I didn't feel it necessary to alter the factory specs. It drove nicely and straight. I never had any problem with it done to factory specs. Your car, your call. Just wanted to toss in my 2 cents.

I have always recommended using the stock specs, because as Jim says, the weight is almost the same as stock, so it won´nt affect the settings at all. The V6 Alpine handles as if it were on rails, especially if it has wider tires and good shocks.
