PTP with the dfwmiata/dallasimports discount = way to go if you're in Ft. Worth.

You got your suspension done already MattV??
Do we have a new alignment thread every week?

In general, NTB alignments are not performance-oriented. Many of the techs do not really even know what makes a good alignment "good." There are a few, but they tend to get run-off by management from spending more than 15 minutes on a job.
Agreed, it all depends on the tech. For instance BAM! was awesome since he was an enthusiast and understands suspension etc. Your average tech may get it close to the right specs but doubt they will dial it in perfect like a performance alignment. I'm going to have Louis align my car after I get the control arms.Quote:

1999 Miata
FCM Bilstein's w/ 550/350 springs
RB 1-1/8" tubular front bar + reinforcement blocks, stock rear bar.
Goodwin Racing adjustable end links.
9" 949 wheels with 225/25/15 tires.
I'm considering:
Front Camber -2.5 to 2.8 degrees
Caster +3.0
Toe Front 0
Rear Camber -2.5 degrees
Rear Toe 1/8" in
Maybe 1/8" toe out in front would be better, but I don't want to totally kill my tires on the street.
Read through this thread for some ideas: Link
That's so 2009.
J/K... thanks; I wasn't sure which of the multiple threads/arguments to follow.
I'm going to start using GSS too. 5th gear in Highland Village is awesome though, and $80.
+2 on PTPQuote:

PTP also. I have an appointment for 10am Tuesday.
Just to be clear, PTP does precision alignments and will adjust all the available settings to your specs. I was just there on Friday and pleased with their work. I'll be going back.Quote:

My only complaint is that they didn't include coolio decals with my alignment. I guess slow and smooth isn't the kind of car they're looking for...
There were a bunch just sitting on the desk when I went in on Friday. If I thought I was worthy of advertising them I would have just taken some. I'm not sure I'm good press for them quite yet.Quote:
