If your super particular about stuff like that, theres west end alignment, but its in oc, the guy there is amazing tho. alot of guys from nsxprime go there exclusively. When i went there he had me drive him around for a bit to get a feel for my driving style, then spent a good 3 hours on it and i only got charged $80. The car done before me was an f430 and after was a track spec 911. But hes usually booked a good 3 or 4 weeks. Not really local but im just saying, its there. I dare you to do a search on them and find a bad review.

What's a good location in SD? I'm looking to configure the UK settings on my car.
I brought the UK settings to Preston's Tire & Wheel in La Mesa (Spring St exit). Been going there for years (10+) and they've done numerous alignments for me.

They use a Hunter which is state-of-the-art. Costs me $70 last time.

Call them up.....619-460-8311

true line, clarence brown. i dont recommend getting the lifetime, they sometimes have gay terms like if you change out your springs/ switch to coilovers then the lifetime doesn't count. or if you change your rims..

just be sure to read the terms before.

What exactly are the UK settings? Is this a good setup for daily driving? Last time I had my S aligned I had them set it to factory settings. For some reason I have positive camber on my front. pass. wheel now and am gonna get an alignment soon(I think it happened when I ran over some 2x4's on the fwy! ). I go through Palomar quite a bit and drive my S pretty hard all the time but I dont want my tires wearing uneven or wearing out too qucikly. I know it can handle better than it does right now though.


Any suggestions peoples?

The main contributor to tire wear is toe, I believe camber to contribute to tire wear a bit less than toe.

Negative camber aids cornering power as well as turn-in. Ideally, you do not want to run too much negative camber on the street as you will will not maximize your contact patch in corners which essentially leads to wasted and reduced tire life.
