Alignment - Anyone need one.
Done by a professional who knows his cars and has been setting up suspensions for a long time. (racing & cruise) I'm getting a feel of interest in who would like an alignment in hopes of getting a forum discount at Royfoss Cadillac. My brother in law who is the suspension specialist there will be the person setting up your car. They're trying to get a ballpark of what %discount to offer if there's enough interest.
Post here if you're interested.

Very interested.
I don't think I need an alignment, but the steering wheel is not quite centered, so I would go for an adjustment.
can they balance the tires also? I know most dealers send their tires out for service.

You didn't lower your car, you SLAMMED IT!! Besides, with the way you drive, how the hell do you detect "unusual" wear

Ive got two issues: what kind of rack do they have, a pit type, or ramp?
My car is very low, so getting her on will be the problem.
What kind of wheel fixtures do they use? Most use the 4 point, and usually are over tightend, and will leave 4 marks on the wheels.
The Hunter 400 is one of the best machines out there, but wrong fixture for my liking. The Porsche dealer on Weston Rd., and 7 has this machine but the fixtures have clamps that wrap around the tires, and dont' touch the wheels at all.

Lowering to a certain degree would be a prob. I'm not slammed by any means but I'm very close to rubbing and my car was lowered a bit. I can't go to low as the roads around the city don't permit riding that low, I've seen to many of these civics w/hout front bumpers, it's for a reason!!! Anyhow, the machine is a Hunter and it is a ramp setup. As far as balancing and any other problems you may want checked, they have top of the line equipment there as I know it was renewed not even 2years ago, I think the 2 Hunter racks and complete systems were over $100,000. I've had my porsche and lotus on that rack w/out any issues and is by far a very good system. Can't recall how the wheel fixtures attach but my rims are spotless, I doubt they overtighten these things as they have some hummers/cadi's in there with $12,000 rims. (I will double check the attachment though!)
Also, I wouldn't go to that Pfaff dealer if I were you...if it's just tires, well not even that, they'll screw you regardless.
