Well, that's not exactly Ft. Worth.,

This isn't exactly Ft. Worth, either, but its a lot closer than Plano.

Head out to the guys at MSR (can't remember their name offhand, my brain is mush right now); they can do a full race setup for you.

OTOH, you said you wanted a performance alignment; is this for a trailered car or an aggressive street setup?

Have a good one,

Mike

Thanks for the comments.

Well, I just want something better than the "green zone" alignment from NTB. I'd like to extract the most I can from the stock equipment before I start buying aftermarket suspension parts.  I'm new to HPDEs and plan to do a few a year.

We did but it is still in boxes.  It will not be installed for about 30 days.  We are still trying to get our building ready and still have several building inspections and much to do before we will be ablt to do alignments and move in.

In that case I'd do two things:

  1. Figure out exactly what specs you want your car aligned to
  2. Ask around and find a competant shop.  Not necessarily a performance shop, but one that knows how to run the equipment.  Then have them align your car to your specs.

HTH, and have a good one,

Mike
