Hey guys I am taking my TA in this week to get a fresh set of a Corsas put on. Since I don't track the car and got some abnormal wear going, I was told by multiple members that I should align to GTS specs instead of the TA specs. I do enjoy aggressive canyon runs - will I notice any difference getting it aligned to the GTS specs? Is that what you all recommend? Here's a pic of my left front tire to show the abnormal wear. I have just over 10k miles on the car and these are the original Corsas. Thanks for the help!

You aren't loading the tires up enough in the corners to need that much negative camber. 1/2 degree less negative would probably be a good start. Check your rears too while you're at it.

GTS specs are still fine for occasional track days. The TA alignment will help immensely with front tire wear if you track a lot, but not necessary in your case. I put the TA alignment on my car at delivery, but it spends as much time on the track as street driving for me......

Thanks for the help guys. I was planning on setting the camber at -1.4 as someone suggested in another thread since the TA camber is at -2.4 currently. Anything else I should tell my alignment guy?

Don't loosen the adjuster bolt lock nuts too much. Some techs carelessly get the cams outside the stop tabs and bend them.
