aligned my car today
 

its has 35k on it, thought it was about that time and I lowered it about 3 weeks prior. what a pain in the ass. first task is getting it on the alignment rack when so little ground clearance. had to construct all sorts of ramps and bridges :banghead:

but what suprised was how much bad my Toe was, and it wasnt even that noticable when driving.
I was like -1.58 on one side an like +.58 on the other when total suppose to be +.08

thought of the day, get your car aligned yearly, specially when tires are $300+a pop

Yeah, I had to put new tires on my Z back in October right after I bought it and had it 4 wheel aligned then. With the price of tires, yeah, it's a pretty sound policy. The guy said the alignment was pretty much dead on.

When I bought the car, the weasel I bought it from had swapped out the Z06wheels and tires for C5s with bald spots on the front inside edges. I didn't know enough about Corvettes to know the difference, and he specifically said those wheels were "more expensive options" for the Z06. So I drove all the way from Ft. Lauderdale to Tallahassee on those unsafe tires. He HAD to know about them and knew about the long drive I had ahead of me. Those inside edges of the front tires were nearly impossible to see without actually looking for that problem. Never trust a used car salesman, especially from New York. :mad:

I really need to get mine aligned as well. I will be doing it in the next few weeks. I'll post the numbers when I get it done.

After I lowered my vette and drove about 400 miles, I had a 4-wheel allignment done. The tech said it was barely off in the front, but better to have it done than ruin tires, although I'm still running runflats. I plan on upgrading the rims and tires shorlty and most likely will have the allignment done again.

Where do you take your cars for this type of alignment? Dealer, chain store??

anywhere you can get your alignment specs printed out. that way your know its done right.
I did mine at the dealer. most dealers will have upto date specs and equipment

My dealer charged $99 for 4 wheel alignment...
