I'm planning to take off my snow tires and rims and put on the summer ones. What's the best place in town for me to do this that can give me a proper 4 wheel alignment?

I know Frisby on Industrial does a good job.

 

Yes that's the place to go apparently and they enjoy doing S2000's too. Steve said he had a great experience at the Merivale Frisby as well and CanadianTire on Carling ask for Geoff and that worked well for me.

 

I was happy with the Frisby on Industrial. Guy lets me stay in the car and spends a lot of time getting as close as possible to my specs.

 

Only place I have ever taken my S2K. Chad is the Wheel Alignment Technician and is a great guy. He loves S2K's and is very careful

 

Get the UK alignment...

 

The Merivale Fisby alignment specialist left last year. The one that did work for local race teams, so I have no special recommendation for that location anymore.

 

What's the advantage of the UK alignment? Is there also a downside to it?

 

Found my 4 year old review:

1) More negative camber, which increases cornering grip while reducing straight line grip. If you drive like a track star it will reduce outside tire wear, but for most daily drivers increases inside tire wear.

2) Make front toe in to no toe. Toe in gives straight line stability under braking, trading off with understeer. Making the toe 0 makes the steering a little more responsive, which also makes it jittery to road irregularities.

3) Reduction in rear toe. This reduces rear end stability under braking and cornering, but makes acceleration more lively and reduces rear tire wear by reducing the scrubbing associated with toed wheel alignment.
