Did you use the PFADT Street Specs? If you don't mind sharing - how much? I'm just about ready to put new Michelin Super Sports on my 2010 GS but want to get it aligned first.

Yes i had it aligned for the street,my goodyears were shot.they will want the new tires on first.They set the air pressers to 38 in the front and 36 in the back for the michelins,then they want you to bring the car back every 5000 miles to check tire wear for free and make adjustments if needed.My car has never driven so well.Cost was 179.95 well worth it.

It was 185 at LJ's and I'm a corvette club member.... they were also a bit contentious about doing an alignment on a brand new car too. I went to Speedware for the camber adjuster install (pfadt), much nicer folks to work with.

I had my last alignment done at Omni in Kirkland. Very nice job, about $110, and they were more than happy to do it with me in the car.

I have been using the Woodinville Firestone for quite a while for alignment, and just got lifetime alignment for my '13 Z06 for $179. I only work with their master technician (Tony Riley), and he has so far done a great job with all my Corvettes and other cars. I used the aggressive street spec from PFADT. The lifetime alignment becomes very useful, since I can switch to a more aggressive config in Spring time if I need to, and it is not much more expensive than a 1-time alignment anyway.
