You're not that far from Phoenix Performance-- you might consider using them or giving Joe a call on the phone to get input for your needs. I've always found him incredibly willing to chat.

Good luck,
Scott

its 2 hrs from me and I work 6 days a week. I was told by some one at the shop in Allentown it could take 5-7 hours. I won't say how much $$ on the forum, but it was to me

Phoenix handles my alignment and corner weight but then again I am asking more than a street alignment.

The numbers given above are good. I believe I ran something like -1.5 front and -1.0 rear for tires with double duty (hpde and street). Of course I don't put many street miles on my car so I am not sure of wear over time.

Just curious, how much caster can be achieved on these cars?
EDIT: Are the stock alignment settings documented anywhere?

Is -.7 the most rear camber that you would set for a mostly street car? Or can you go a little more aggressive?
