** Update on my Car - Pics, Numbers, Videos **
That's a great question!
I still need to get my car aligned, especially after tweaking every corner with new coil-overs and rear traction and camber arms. But I am concerned that most of the alignment shops are too busy to care about the fact that I want a 'performance' based alignment and not a "mothers daily driver going to the mall" alignment.
Any advice on what to tell the team working on my alignment?
What should I be aiming for?
(BTW, I am using the car for mostly Daily Driving with +500rwhp, the typical weekly street race and the occasional track event.)

You need to tell them you want the most positive camber while still retaining toe in spec out back. Go to a performance shop that does alignment, or find a good guy who works at wherever.
The problem with the rear suspension design is, that while you adjust one into spec, it throws the other out, so obviously there is a compromise with how lowered you are and how much positive camber you can achieve. You see the pics of my drop-that is after raising the car 3 times, Id trade 1/2" for better camber anyday.

if you were closer, R/T Tuning does race alignments for Porsches, race cars, drift cars, etc. .. they did a great corner balance and alignment on my car. and it's slammed.
like everyone said, just tell them what you want and check the print out before they take your car off the rack. I have always been allowed to watch them.
and beware: alot of normal alignment shops use the computers to tell them what is adjustable on each car, so they might not even know you have the adjustable parts on now, or how to properly do it.
check for a performance shop like everyone said, maybe outside the Z market.

Thanks...I havent driven the car since that day I did that video!
Tomorrow may be good weather but I'll be riding on the bike cheating on the Z. Its waiting for me to take it through it paces again. BTW-just won a bet and scored an R6 to race me on video soon
