Personally the guys that own and work there have been a dick to people I have referred and I would never give them another dime. Glad they got you taken care of right though.

They did a good job. Andrew knows his stuff. He dialed it in perfect and pointed out a busted tie-rod boot I had missed.

He has long boards that he uses to get the car up on the lift. Trust me he has done this before.

They've aligned mine at lest ten times by now. All for setup changes, not because there was anything wrong with the work.

You guys are right that there are BIG changes to be found to the way these cars handle in just the rear alignment settings. For whatever this is worth, we ended up settling on 2 deg. negative camber in the rear of my car too. More than that and not only did the car not want to rotate well, it was almost impossible to launch properly.

I've run 2.33 before just to try it. It kept my heavy foot from killing me in the curves when I was turbo. Their where no rotation problems. The 8k tire changes sucked. Only ran it once.

The rear is very active when compressing and uncompressing. Watching the numbers on the rack during jounce was revealing.
