Trouble holding alignment.

Anyone else having issue with holding an alignment after track events?

Yes. Depends on the track. My alignment after Sebring is almost always off. The sub frames on this car move around a bit.


Lifetime alignment packages are your friend here.

This is good info. My understanding is performance based shops are more likely to hit the -2.6 target camber. Probably due to their patience and understanding of the goal. However, they may be less likely to offer a lifetime option.

Did you do the strut mod? only way I could get to -3 was removing material from the factory adjustment hole

I run -2.4F and -1.5R.


It's a Tires Plus (Bridgestone) corporate store. I have a profile in the alignment computer with my name on it.

I'm between -1.5 and -2 in the rear. The SPL toe rods are on the off season upgrade though so I can get to where I want and not have my toe out of wack after a cruise through my pothole ridden city streets.

I think provost has a write up for the strut mod somewhere. Very simple to do if you can remove your wheel and have a dremel tool handy
