Alignment spec's
« on: October 24, 2012, 11:22:44 PM »
I took the RX in for an alignment today.
I didn't know these guys and I am used to much more personable service
THe reason I when to these guys was because they are close and they had time for me.
I felt like they gave me the bums rush
What do you think of these numbers ? do I need to go somewhere else and do this again?

looks like they put everything within factory specs. Is that what you wanted? if you wanted a more aggressive for street driving or track you will need a custom set of specs and most likely have to listen to some tech or salesman talk to you about what could happen. A lot of techs don't know about setting alignment for performance least the ones is work with.

I've seen worse.  If you haven't already, figure out what you want to do with the car then see what other's have set theirs at.  I personally do a lot of mountain runs and occasional track events (I've yet to do it in the FD yet but have a certain amount of events I'm doing next year).  It also doesn't hurt that I work at a performance shop and can make adjustments at any time I feel the need.

I would say the same as you I live in a small town in the mountains lots of twisty turnies. Next summer I will do some drag racing and some trac but that is a long way off and I can reset before the events anyway.
