good specs, i would have been a little more aggresive with the -caster but over all good numbers. also would have gone zero toe on the front, better turn in that way.

Johnson's is pretty good, except you don't get to sit in the car or test drive the car like at Westend.

IIRC Luis was the guy at Johnson's who does the race cars.

Crazy difference.. From stock on ap1 wheels with stock tires the car is night and day.. It's like an amplified version of everything I love about my car.. I think luis was the guy who did the work on it actually... Anyway I thought the customer service at johnson's was great. That and the reviews I heard before going about the work they did was enough to sell me.
I think im going to keep the alignment like this for a bit and play with the damper settings to see what I can get out of it..

thanks for the feedback...

ive gotten my FG2 aligned at Johnson's twice since it's very close to where i work and i had a different experience. got delayed several hours past schedule, but more than that, Steve seems unstable- he acts really agitated and irritable, perks up, then gets down again. his behavior isn't really conducive for customer service.

maybe i caught him on two bad days?

Actually the customer service was the main reason I went with Johnson's. I had a bad expierence with another high end shop treating me like I was doing them a favor by going to them.

Say hello to Westend.

And I think you meant "treating me like they were doing me a favor", becaue actually you were doing them a favor!

That said, Darrin is all business and once you know the drill it goes pretty smooth.
