Alignment sources

[Matt V]

Looking for a good alignment shop that won't tear up my car and will do an alignment to my specs at a decent price. Who do you guys trust?

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

Juan Pablo's Alignments and Taqueria!!

GSS in Carrollton. Louis has experience setting up ALMS/Rolex Daytona series race cars. Not quite as cheap as PTP ($125) but he does toe, camber and caster and most places just do toe and maybe camber. Also he can do your car even if it's really low and doesn't fit on an alignment rack.

You got your suspension done already MattV??

Do we have a new alignment thread every week?

If you're doing a tech day on the suspension, I'd like to be there to see it and see how the whole fleabay coil over thing works.

I'm trying to get something together, waiting to see who wants to do it.

my buddy just got his MSM aligned at NTB in white settlement for $150 for a 3yr alignment that is transferrable. PTP does a great job too!!

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.

I'm afraid to ask on the pointy board... this will just get ugly. Anyway, any thoughts on alignment settings for AutoX?

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.

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.
