Yes, I believe it was Larry.

My alignment
-1.7 camber in front, zero toe
-2.2 camber in rear, 1/16" toe in

I think this alignment shoudl be a decent compromise for everyday driver and track/autox car. I wanted a little more negative camber in front but I do not have any aftermarket adjustable arms.

Yeah, me and you both are on the same boat. If you do replace the arms, keep in the mind that this will bump you to a whole diferent category in autox.

$69.95 was the price for my alignment. I asked for Mike Perrins, he is the owner. Tell him Steve with the white 350z sent you =)

I think I had about +8.8 degrees caster up front. As far as tracking the car goes, I've only done Horsethief Mile a few times. I hope to hit streets of willowsprings sometime soon.

I just got back from Lutz Tires and Terry did a great job on my G. I did the rear springmount mod, camber arms, and toe bolts last night. My specs are:

-1.5 camber in front, zero toe
-1.6 camber in rear, .07 toe

Terry was informative and patient. He gave me a play by play after each adjustment while I was watching the monitor.
