Yeah, I've heard that Seca is one of the most expensive tracks to run at in California. But on the bright side, you could save that $70 and do the alignment yourself.  |
Actually, I got a MM camber gauge, and built myself a set of 6' wide aluminum calipers to measure toe. But I still want to do a home alignment, then bring it to a shop to check how good my job is. Plus, with the adjustable ride-height, I'd like to get the car corner-weighed and balanced. I'm a little worried about my accuracy, because after lowering the car several inches, my toe was still right at 0 degrees!
Speaking of alignment, I can't get the news-paper under the tires trick to unbind the suspension after lowering the car off the jack... 'course I tried it with Summitt Racing catalog pages, and not real newspaper... does the trick only work with real newsprint?
