Originally posted by CODE4 With an accurate measuring device and tools, it is not unrealistic to dial the toe in pretty tight. Unless you have a hookup at an alignment shop, the tech there has a fairly wide range as far as OEM specs are for toe. All he needs to do is get it in the green, and get the car out. Last time I had my car aligned, the dumbass had the toe near the edges of the acceptable range. I could tell the difference when driving on flat pavement. Doing it myself and taking the time, I am able to zero it in as tight as I want.
This.
Unless you have a friend that actually gives a crap running the alignment machine you won't get a better alignment than this method. There are several race shops out here that won't use a "standard" alignment rack because the tolerances are too far off for their needs.
Oh and when I mention race shops, I'm mostly talking about 3R Racing, they run in the Speed World Challenge and set up Porsche GT3 RSR's for ALMS and Rolex. http://www.3rauto.com/ My FIL is friends with the owners
