Good Alignment?

Just lowered my cobalt on konis and sportlines and looking to get an alignment done. Les Schwab has let me down in the past. Anyone know of a good place in the Seattle area?

You can go to any place that does brakes and they should be able to do an alignment!

BTW you should come to some of our meets this summer!

There is one this Sunday!

what kind of alignment are you looking for?

lowering your car will change your camber and your toe.

toe is what affects your tire wear, negative camber will help with cornering but take done your straight line handling and launch from a dead stop.

Mostly just toe, the steering wheel is a hair off, and wanna make sure the camber is not too much off in one direction. The tires look like they are leaning in a little.
