    Default Yo, NC guys. Alignment specs? And shop?

    Now that the NC is properly suspended and lowered, it's time for an alignment. Keep in mind this car will be a DD, with occasional track sessions. I know I don't want to be as aggressive with it as I was with my '94. I'm looking at:

    Front:
    -1.3 deg camber
    5 deg. caster
    1/16" toe-in

    Rear
    -1.8 deg camber
    1/8" toe-in

    Sound about right?

    Also, what the current scuttle on best alignment shops on the east side of DFW? I'm not trekking all the way to TTT for an alignment...

    Gracias.

    Upon further review and more research, it seems many lowered NCs with semi-aggressive alignments run more negative camber in front than in the rear. Some run a "square" camber set-up. Maybe -1.8 all around would be a better starting point.

    Cobb is a good alignment shop. I'd go at least -2.0 front, personally, a bit less rear, -1.5 to -1.8. Zero toe all around.

    Go to Thomson Tire in McKinney (east-side). Ask for Joe. He is old school and will dial in whatever settings you want. He will also make the final adjustments with you sitting in the car for proper weight distribution.
    Best,
