Going in for a wheel alignment

Going to get my wheel alignment tomorrow afternoon at Advance Automotive (Phone #604-2781803 and ask for either Nancy or Johnny).

Anyone interested, PM or call me. We can always meet for lunch and proceed there after wards.

Guinness, I thought you wanted to have your wheel alignment checked?

Remember you asked how much alignment was when Fitster went?
I gave you a 3 digit number and you were like "wahhh insane!"
It wasnt for JUST alignment, it was the install too.

My appointment is at 2:30PM. Guinness and I are having lunch at An Nam (Vietnamese) along Granville Avenue (Guinness' recommendation) at 11:30AM. Call him if you need directions.

Hope you can join us.

Are you referring to Ben as in the owner of AJ?

The place they recommend isn't that great. A bunch of people on Revscene went there for alignment and said it wasn't good.

The best place that consistently gets awesome reviews with no negatives (just search on Revscene) is Dale's in Langley.

Dale's Alignment and Brake Service Ltd.* Established 1975.

Yeah it's farther but the level of service (and price) supposedly cannot be beat.

Really eh? I am sure theres always room for improvement and theres always people who are not happy with one place or another. Anyway, my wheels are aligned, everything works and the price is less than what I was expecting so I am happy =)

I wouldn't go as far to say that =S
A few of us are running -1.5, and I think that is the limit as to how much camber you should use when mostly DD'ing.
Unless you're going VIP, or happen to be slammed.

well I went with -.7 camber, and toe is at .3

To get more neg, I would've had to have him remove the wheels and I can just do it myself if I want.
