I have a question re the front wheel alignment on the 31s, which now run coilovers instead of the air suspension system.
My 31 has always steered in a way that requires more concentration than many other cars, or more than when I run the standard 15 inch 215s that were standard on these cars, which give a more relaxed self steering style. I think what I am experiencing with larger rims and tires is referred to as "tram tracking".
I run 18 inch wheels with 235s or 245s 40 profile tyres.
Should I run any different wheel alignment specs to help eliminate this tram tracking feel?

Thanks Tom, no difference. I am about to put some new arms in and the ball joints might make the difference.
