My track tires are even worn relatively even and it's still off, I stopped worrying about it years ago, I'd rather leave it mechanically straight vs having them do whatever is needed to make it straight. You'll get there someday too Andrew
I am slowly getting there haha, as long as it isn't too far off.

In my excitement I didn't ask if that was for both front and rear. I called other places and they were easily asking $220+

That's for front and rear and paying more will not get you a better alignment.

Yup it's all four wheels. And comes with the confidence it was done right. Orlando and AI are the best.

Got there when they opened their garage and was greeted by Orlando. Took about an hour w/ 2 test drives. Steering wheel is straight and hoping my Re11s wear more evenly now! Thanks everyone for your 411.

Mac I wasn't aware of them wearing abnormally until you informed me the UK spec was aggressive on tires. The next day after our meet I look and they were wearing on the inner edge, both front & rear.
