I've seen quite a few different recommendations for alignment specs. -0.5 for the camber seems to be standard, but the caster recommendations run a bit wider, as does the toe. What works for youse guys?Also, can anyone recommend a good alignment shop in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia? Yes, I've moved out of Norf Dakota. Happy Days are Here Again. deadhead

I use the specs that Tony Branda advertises and used a local Kramer tires,and they cussed the whole time with my car so low with large tires.But they did a fine job.I know some people on that side of the water and will try to get some opinions on a good shop.
