I was hoping to have PAX battles with that car down in TN... guess not.

that's a shame, but hopefully it goes to a good home.

CMK,

I got the alignment done, based on your instructions, but from what I gathered from a post I made on another forum, either my car has very little adjust-ability, is damaged or they just didn't do a good job. The shop came recommended so I'm not sure what happened. I don't think my car is damaged, seems to drive just fine, so I'm leaning towards not good job done. Here are the final numbers:

Front (L/R)

Caster: 4.4 / 4.8
Camber: -0.6 / -0.5
Toe: 0 / 0

Rear (L/R)

Camber: 0 / 0.4
Toe" 0 / 0

What's your opinion? Do you have a shop you could recommend?

If you are up here in PGH, which your name implies....

Call Bruce Brothers Tire in South Park.  They'll do whatever you ask, and do it with you in the car is you so desire.  They took care of my car this year and I am very please.....particularly after other shops told me things like:  " You car isn't adjustable....", or "Race car you say?  Nope we can't touch those".....or " We tried, but this is too complicated"
