Default UK Alignment?

I'm about to get my alignment redone right after I get my car back from the body shop. I'm going to get my lowering springs installed and I was wondering if anyone is running the UK specs as far as alignment? I've heard that your tires wear faster but it's much better rear grip. Anyone tried it and/or running it? Also is there any reason I shouldn't go to a normal place such as Dobbs?
Thanx,
Alex

I took my car to auto tire in Kirkwood. It drives perfect now. I don't know why you wouldn't take it anywhere normal. But don't waste your time on Dobbs or NTB. Call ahead before going there. Let them know how high your car is on the sides before going there. I went to 3 places before I could finally get an alignment. As far as using the UK specs... I don't know why., I think the amount of extra grip would be minimal. The tread wear would cost too much. Unless you're a billionaire.... if that's the case why drive an S2000?

I hope that answers a few things Alex.

Tom.

P.S. Wasted again.

I have a friend that owns a wheel/tire shop and distributorship and have referred many of my friends to him. He does excellent work and will take great care of you. I talked with him this morning and he is willing to give our Gateway Club a discount on Tires/Wheels/Alignments, as well as, other work that you may need done to your car. If you are interested here is his information:

ask for Paul Perez

Mention that you are a part of the Gateway S2000 Club and know me. He may not know me by 8BALL, so mention Michael Ohrel and he will be very good to you.
