My friend works at firestone, lifetime alignments for the win. Problem is my car takes forever to align, potential reasons stated above, and so it always gets rushed by the cars waiting behind me for the rack.

I don't know, LRR didn't torque down my eccentrics last time. And Eric also has a habit of putting the alignment that suits him best, rather than what I want. His suggestions are good, but when I ask for 2.2* of camber, I want 2.2* ------- degrees of camber, not 2.0*.

This guy just did my alignment twice for no added charge. I took it in on tuesday, he said its not doing so hot, so I took it back put new eccentrics in and we tried again on wednesday, still no luck. If he does do it at a discount, I will love him forever.

I couldn't get all the camber I wanted last year when I switched over to ES Bushings. I'm curious to see how this turns out. I think they could only get 1.3 or something out of mine. It was a Firestone and I was in a hurry to get to the track just like you. I plan on having a speed shop corner balance it and redo my alignment this spring.

NB is reinforced, is heavier, and has a single shear sway bar endlink mount.

Wish V8Roadsters subframe and Control arms didn't cost as much as the car itself. This would fix our problem for sure.

I seemed to have miss this post.

if you are at 5.25" ride height or lower, you should EASILY get 2.2*+

I had pretty good alignment numbers previously and it was no big deal, I don't think the ES bushings are the problem, in other words.
