does the alignment affect how the car turns in and how heavy the steering feels at speed? what specs have you put your car to? i want a list of specs to bring to the shop. end all to alignment questions! Whats the most fun to drive and at what point does it start really screwing up your tires quickly?

Any good shop would be able to align your car for the type of driving you are looking for. Of course you couldn't just take it to the everyday alignment shop/lube techs...

Remember that the alignment has to do with the angle of the tire and you will wear them much faster if aligned improperly.

call around to some alignment shops check out www.tiretreds.com they are alignment specialists in Hayward.

There's a couple of parts to this. First is find out what the stock alignment specs are for your car. Then look at what different specs you want to align to. Tire Rack has some useful info here.

Next is look for what shops will do a custom alignment. Kraus certainly will as well as Custom Alignment in Mt View. Check prices as these race geared shops can be significantly more expensive.
