UK spec alignment, corner balanced, dropped 1.5 inches, on Variant 3's.

Compliments of "Performance Alignment" Cincinnati, Ohio.

Had mine done last year...I am running Khumo's. I was told there would be significant tire wear, but have not noticed that much. I don't track or autocross, either...but I do drive it "Spirited"

Can't say I'd advise anyone to make as radical a change as Denny did, though, and re-learn the car *on* the Dragon. Get it done and get some seat time in, first!

Yeah I understand I have the same tires, I need my alignment done anyways and getting done next week, so i would have plenty of time to drive it before the dragon for sure. I dont "push" my car there, i want it coming back in one piece. Thanks so much for the input guys! I have plenty of places to drive here first!

Get it done sooner rather than later. Character of the car will change quite a bit (bye bye understeer), so you need to be familiar with it before you go. Personally, I think you should be fine to get it done in the next week or so; just go for a few spirited drives before the dragon.

Get it aligned James....Just wouldn't advise going radical....however, you have plenty of time, prior to the Dragon, to learn it. As Andy says...take it on a few spirited drives....you will be fine.....
