I had an alignment done @ buff whalen on van dyke. They did a good job, they basically gave me stock specs, with the front toe on the low end of the range. In the rear the passenger side chamber is still a little off. When I get some lateral arms made that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, I think if I loosen the knuckle a bit I could probably tilt it in the coil over and tighten it down.
anyway, wheel hop is significantly reduced now that the toe is all in spec...

DO NOT got to the Belle Tire on Carpenter in Ann Arbor/Ypsi. I got an alignment there in April and they left my camber adjustment bolt looseLike, really loose. There was visible space between the nut and bracket. When I took it in they tightened it up and rechecked the alignment, which had shifted from where it was originally (yeah, no crap). But since it was in "factory specs", they thought it was fine. I had paid for a performance alignment, with specific settings. I've gone from a -1.7 camber to -1.2 and my toe went from 0.01 to 0.16. They didn't seem to think this was in any way their fault and would not re-adjust me. The manager was a dick and insisted the even if the camber changed, it wouldn't effect the toe. So if the bottom of my wheel moved inboard, my toe isn't going to change?? And, evidentally, my swaybar, which has been on the car for two years, probably caused my toe to change. What?? I won't be going back to that particular shop. I hope other Belle Tire stores know what the hell they are doing.

They charged me like a normal 4 wheel alignment, I even used a coupon... 79$ i think. I told him the specs I wanted. My car isn't terribly low right now but it was (need to get different springs on coil overs)... and the alignment then was spot on too (although that was bell tire in grand rapids). when I put these coil overs in I had exactly what I expected, too much toe out, too + chamber...
I ask them to hold the toe in the front to the absolute end of the stock spectrum (.5*, which they got exactly the same), and everything else symmetrical, and they did, I would like a little more negative camber in the rear...
Car tracks pretty straight. I would say all the pull I now feel is from the crown in the road.
Caster is damn near perfect.

chamber effects toe... thats the trouble iwth some places, they wont work with you because they say its within stock specs and wont touch it. You have to find a place that will do it to what you ask.DO NOT got to the Belle Tire on Carpenter in Ann Arbor/Ypsi. I got an alignment there in April and they left my camber adjustment bolt loose

You did an alignment on my silver Accord last year. This guy is a cool dude.
So 150 and I got alignments for life??
