Is there a such thing as a PERFORMANCE Alignment?
I'm getting my car aligned tommorrow so I was just wondering if there were any things that could be done to enhance ride or traction...
An information is appreciated!

if you are looking for a drag race alignment this is what i read in my performance book. load the seat with the correct weight (you could sit in it yourself if they will let you), set your tire pressures and fuel levels. Camber should be at zero, as well as toe. Caster should be between 3 and 6 degrees. Also, make sure the shop you use can adjust the camber and caster. I assume the adjustments will be the same as on my car (95 formula) and they require a SST.

Mine is just a little - on camber(.10) and my caster is 4.2/4.5 and a tad bit of toe in. This is what I would call a mild performance alignment, a step up from stock. The alignment above would probably do very well on a road course but on the street would scuff the tires a bit so keep em rotated like every 3k miles unless you dont have same size rubber front and rear.

Why do you need to identicle threads on the same page in the same section?
