Getting an Alignment, anything I should know?? Im gettin an alignment this weekend on my wheels. Is there anything I should know about? Do I have to tell the shop anything?? My car is a 2000 Camaro Z28 and is lowered about 1.5 inches. Someone told me that I should tell them to make the camber as negative as possible, but I dont know if that sounds right.
um, correct me if i am wrong but if they put your wheels at as far a negative camber as possible your tires will wear like ****. unless all you do is road race i would not suggest doing that. we had a viper once that was like that. wasted a good set of pilot sports.

Verdad Gallardo Sears is ok, but where i live theres actually a shop that only does alignments and they specialize in racecars etc.. if there's one in your area, goto them first and leave sears as a last resort. its worth the extra money.
A hunter alignment print-out, at least the machine is of great quality!
You have about 7 degrees pull to the left, mainly due to the caster. How does your car drive? Pull any? Keep an eye on your front inside tires for excessive wear.
