Had my car at the alignment shop today, they set me up with a baseline of -3.5 front -2.5 rear, 0 toe all around, and also fixed a stripped RTAB with a Time-Sert. The car feels good, drives and stops straight. but it does not sound good lol. There’s something clanging around on the back end. I don’t know what it is and the guys at the shop didn’t see anything egregious. Gonna have to wait until Wednesday to put the car back on the jacks and see what it is, and to button up a bunch of odds and ends.

Got back from a little work road trip after fitting up my new 18” 219M wheels and DWS06 tires. 245/40 front and 275/35 rear. The ride is so much better now than with the old 19” stockers on Firestone summer tires.
SMG remains happy for now with the new gear position sensor. Thinking diff clunk might be my next issue to tackle.

Is that Johnson's alignment by any chance? If so, I live real close to there in Redondo!
I asked for a print out of the actual final alignment and he gave me a photocopy of a piece of paper where he had simply hand written -3.5, -2.5 and 0 toe in. 🤣🤦🏻♂️
I think they do good work but they clearly don’t want my money or any of my friend’s money.

Lookin good! You sure about that 0 toe in the rear? Usually, there is supposed to be some rear toe-in for stability.

Yup that’s the place. I won’t be going back though. I didn’t appreciate Steve’s crotchety boomer attitude, and he didn’t listen to me when I told him things about the car and the setup over and over. He charged me almost $200 extra to align the front because I have KWs, and the top mounts are admittedly annoying to work on due to the placement of the bolts. But I installed them myself, and therefore I know it’s not that hard to drop them, adjust, and raise them back in, check and repeat.

Too bad Chris and Darrin (west end) moved.
