That's a good reason to learn how to do it yourself...

Just bring it back and get it fixed.

That reminds me the SVX is pulling right as well, and I had Pat at Big-O do it. I should bring mine back too.

Did you go to the one on Mae Anne by our house and ask for the guy that does custom alignments? Either way, I'd just ask for a refund and take it somehwere else with a laser alignment rack.

That is poo crap. They need to just get it done right. Who has time to F around with this stuff.

Are you still taking the STi to Fontana? Is the ride any softer now that you loosened up the coilovers?

I'm not sure who the guy is that we're supposed to go to. I haven't had one done here yet. That's crap that it took you so long. When I worked at Vishnu, I was blessed to have a good shop in the building behind us. Took him about 45 minutes to get my track alignment done. You wanna drive to Pleasanton for a good alignment?

This thread has a severe grammar deficiency.

I wasn't at WalMart today. I went in yesterday to grab a bunch of frozen dinners to feed myself this week. The last time was last wednesday when I was sick, to get some OJ and Tylenol.

Big O has been fine for me, I've used them for tons of shit...

You must be mad because I can barely read what you're typing Jesus.

Did you call them? They should make it right. If the thing Drives like shit, something is not right. It likely has too much tow in...

however, remember...before you were driving around with a lot of tow out, and negative camber and now its probably gone. Also, your tires have likely worn irregularly, since you were running a lot of negative camber and toe out. Now that its all in line, it probably feels really wierd becaus eof that tire wear.

Ah, I see. My commute takes me down Mae Anne. I was on my way too/drom lunch. If I was coming towards McCarran, I'm too busy dodging SUV drivers so I can get into the turn lane. I don't see shit if it's not close enough to the roadway to be a potential hazard when I'm driving.

Where is that? Do they have a laser rack? Or just really well trained eyeballs?

My last alignment was paired w/ the installation of my snow tires, and it was like $100... I wonder if they raised their prices? :shock:

Tell em you want a refund, or you are challenging it on your credit card, and take it to Sid. I hear C&C does a good job as well, but no personal experience.
