I like the Goodyear and my tech, have a 3 yr alignment for $250 and tip him $20 each time….

What specs are most of you guys running for backroads street driving and track?

Eyeballed my fronts yesterday. The inside edge wear isn't bad at all even with the track alignment setting. If anything, it actually looks like I am wearing the outside a little faster.

I track about once every month, FWIW.

Performance supplement states you can use -2.0 front camber and -1.5 rear camber for an SS 1LE and ZL1(non-1LE) for tracking.

From the factory, it's -1.0 camber all around.

AutoGlitz in Hollywood, good alignments for a good price.
Elite Roads is another good shop, although I haven't been there for 2 years.
Call Redline Motorsports and ask who they recommend.

Apex Alignment in [super] south miami will get you an impeccable track alignment.
I heard Bello Motorsports in West Palm is good for track alignments too, never tried.

This is my street alignment if it helps.

If you turn the strut hats yourself it's just a normal alignment to the spec you provide. My track alignment was $90. It took me about 45 minutes to turn the hats.

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Ft. Lauderdale area?

Thanks.

Hi,

I used Jacob over at Elite Roads. Give them a buzz.

Thanks guys. I'll check out Elite Roads. Redline doesn't do it but recommended OK Tire in Pompano Beach.

I took your recommendation and got the alignment done today at Elite Roads.
Jacob is a good guy. He took a lot of time. Unfortunately, it wan't until I got home and really looked at the printout that I noticed front toe to be at - and not +. What do you guys think? Can I leave until I get it done again in maybe 3K miles?

Sorry for the sideways image.

I called the shop and the guy sincerely apologized. He misread the front toe reading. Told me to come right back to fix it. Here's what I now have. A little over on the toe in front, but otherwise ok, yes?

are you planning on tracking your car? it doesn't look aggressive enough if you are. for DD it's perfect.

Techdude99 · 08-14-2021, 05:44 PM

After several track alignments at various Chevy stores, I would suggest turning the hats (this trips up some Tech's) yourself and then go anywhere you trust that has a Hunter rack. It's not difficult and all the specs are in the machine if the software is 2018+.

I've paid anywhere from $95 to $129. Again, it's not difficult and is only slightly more time consuming than a traditional 4 wheel alignment.
