I was waiting for this....

Booked with Bert's this week! I'll give a report!

 

I remember Ron (at Berts) say that his computer shows something like -3.6' rear toe or some outrageous number.. and he couldn't wouldn't do.. so he set mine up to -1.8' total or something like that.. can't remember the specifics.

Their prices are funny too.. for cars there's two price points, one for a lowered car and one for a non-lowered. My subie is lowered, but they only charged the "non-lowered" rate. The S, which is stock, gets charged the lowered car rate. Odd..

 

That is weird. Thw S2000 is one of the easiest cars to align. Easy to access eccentrics and lock nuts for all camber/caster adjustments, and standard toe-in adjusters.

 

With 9" wide (+62 offset) wheels I couldn't get a wrench on the tie-rod end to adjust front toe with the wheels on... So that added a ton more time to my DIY alignment.

 

Assuming your tires are wearing well, definately alignment. Probably either too much rear toe or the front toe is off of the centre line of the car. or both. This will make the car need constant steering wheel input.

 

That's strange, I had mine done at Bert's by Ron as well and I got charged the non-lowered rate. When I went to pay the lady at the counter asked if my car was lowered
and I said nope it's stock so I got charged the non-lowered rate.

 

Great Success

Alignment completed and it was expensive but I got a nice fancy print out at the end telling me my exact figures blah blah blah, anywyas Ron was great and setup exactly to my specs. Car feels mucho better during tunrs and pretty much every where else to. Turn in is certainly improved and the tail does feel like it is wanting to come around nearly as much. The rears were toed in alot when Ron first hooked the machine up so that explains a lot.

Also, got my Saner sway bar in today too! Can't wait to put that on this weekend my S feels like a new car

And I also got my order in for a porter cable and I spent way too much on waxes, polish, rag top cleaner, than I ever thought possible. Mostly bought chemical guys and poor boys stuff. Stay tuned for some pics
