Can anyone recommend a local place to get an alignment? Around Renton to Bellevue.

 

I hear Omni Brake and Alignment in Kirkland is really good.

 

I had an outstanding experience at Group2 Motorsports, near the Ballard locks.

 

Thanks, has anyone tried the european alignment?

Heres a thread on it.

I think its something I might try.

Also how much do alignments usually run?

 

Yes.

Here are the "actual" numbers from my last alignment:

(note: 200 lb in driver's seat, 100 lb in passenger seat -- I decided to split the difference between having a passenger and being solo)

LF: -1.02 deg camber
6.45 deg caster
0.02 deg toe (in)

RF: -1.07 deg camber
6.48 deg caster
0.03 deg toe

LR: -2.02 deg camber
0.09 deg toe

RR: -2.00 deg camber
0.08 deg toe

I've been quite happy with it and my instructor at Proformance complimented me on how well the car handled with it.

Here's what I told them to try for:

Front: as close to 0 toe as possible, but err on the side of toe in rather than toe out (thanks for the tip, Ray...); -1 to -1.25 deg camber (target -1 but err towards more); 6.5 deg caster (+/- 0.25 deg)

Rear: 1/4 inch toe in (+/- 1/8 inch), -2 deg camber (but err torards more)

 

 

Thanks for the settings mike.
How would I adjust your settings for a 130lb driver and no passenger?

 

Just tell them to do the alignment with 130 lb in the driver's seat, that's all.

 

Sweet thanks.

 

hi50 and I both had good experiences @ Europa in Bellevue.

Got the specs I wanted

-1.57 F 7.05 Caster zero toe

-2.6 R slight toe in - (forgot exactly how much )
