I wrote the measurements down on some random piece of paper months ago and now I can't find them and, no I don't have the old pieces. Anyone have the stock bolt hole center point measurements from outer to inner for the upper arms, traction rods and toe rods? Metric if you please.

Gonna try to limp my s13 to an alignment shop but I wanna give them a good starting point.

Don't bother. Just talk to whoever is doing the alignment. Regardless of who does it, it's going to be a pain in the ass for them, and they might have to drop the exhaust. Took my guy 2.5 hrs, and cost me alignment plus $100 tip for him to do it right. But everything was in perfect spec, identical on both sides. Most shops are going to do an "ok" job. Not to mention.. alignments are a maintainance interval type thing. The longer you haven't done it, the more fucked up things get. Bushings compress, and wear, you know? Tell the guy who is doing it you'll take care of him to do it right. aka, big tip, if you want it done right. Even offer to help him reading the screen.. aka if the spec goes into the green, increases, decreases, etc. aka, big tip, if you want it done right. If you offer cash and help, the alignment guy will be more inclined to do a "great" job. Question is, what is it worth for you to have it done right?
