I just realized you are in Ocala. It is a little bit of a drive, but we deal with Weaver's here in Seffner. He does all of our stuff so he knows his way around these cars and will get it dialed in for you. Also if you are in the area, feel free to stop by and I'll show you around the shop if you'd like
. I stopped down by the place that aligned the trans am last time and talked to both of the guys there that do alignments. They actually admitted that they just do what the machine tells them to do. They're not really sure how everything works. It showed them how to move the lca's but they weren't sure how to do it and didn't have the tool it showed them that they needed to do it. One thing that aggravates me is I bought the "lifetime alignment"- (pay once and they will align the car as long as you own it) so I might see if they'll give me a refund on that since the only thing that they will do is turn the tie rods and have already cost me a set of tires. I will update after I get the alignment and let you know if you can add them to the list of good places to go.

Yep, this is exactly what I was looking for, and what I expected to see. What they have effectively done is narrow your track width by bringing the arms in. This is why the toe rods are run in so far and still not enough. Your camber and caster angles must be pretty crazy also. Definitely take it to a shop that has more knowledge of these cars. Look in my sig for a link to find a reputable shop near you.
Thanks

Got the alignment done today. Goes nice and straight down the road. He said he could tell by looking at it that it had been in a wreck before but still had no problem getting everything in spec. So much nicer to drive! I put a set if used tires on the front for now. Going to make sure they are wearing good then get a set of 18s
