New allignment settings

Finally stop procrastinating and installed the Caster bush on the Satria. Hopefully, now the car will eat less front tyres during hard cornering.

A positive caster will increase the negative camber of the outside wheel as steering angle increase.

Current setting
(after pushing front caster up 1/2 inch)

Front
Camber : -2.2 degrees (Increase from 2.0 due to the castor bushings being offset)
Toe out : 0.5 degrees (Increase from 0.1 to compensate for the reduced turn in when positive caster is added)

Rear
Camber : -1.3 degrees
Toe out : 0 degrees (my old setting was 0.2 - makes for a very fun ride when you want to go sideways but gives a nervous ride when u don't want to)
