Front end alignment or not ?
I've noticed that when checking my air pressure moniters that the right side is consistently a pound higher after I've been driving around for a while. Is this enough to be concerned that it's getting a little hotter than the other side causing the pressure to build up?

if you just bought the car, and are in doubt, get it aligned -- those tires are big $$ to replace. I think you'd feel a noticable pull if it was off enough to create the temp difference though.

I had a heck of a time getting a good alignment on my lowered coupe. I tore out the insides of the front tires from toe out. It handled great - but got half the mileage out of the front set. I tried a local shop and then even les schwab...
So - don't just let them look up the specs and work on your car. go for the street specs (unless you track the car) from Vette Brake Products. (http://www.vbandp.com/instructions/h...ruct/align.htm) And if you decide to lower the car - do it before you spend the money on an alignment!
