    But is it OEM style adjustment?

    My concern with taking my Cobra in is finding someone that is going to work with the aftermarket caster/camber plates.

    It can't be too difficult?? I mean how hard is it to adjust it a little bit, see what the computer says, and go from there...it just takes a little trial and error...

    At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

      shouldn't be 'difficult', but if it's not in the shop manual it may throw some of those guys for a loop.
      The concern I have with the plates I have now is to use the full range of adjustment the plate has to come apart and be rebuilt in a different configuration.

        Not sure, there guy had never worked on a car that old nor with that much adjustment. My car has camber, caster and toe adjustment on both front a rear so its a bit tricky to set up. Ryan at tires plus on 13th ave has done the car 3 times in the last 3 years but still can't get it right. I need someone who will go the distance to make it right, I don't mind paying a bit if the car is done right.

        as does mine, some factory and some aftermarket, in addition to having 4 wheel steer. they didnt even call me with a question, just a bill.

        I agree with the last part, though. I have never had a problem there, however, so I cant comment on their customer service in a situation where I have been unhappy with their work.

        this is why i avoided valley in mhd. i have brought my car there for a/c and the fact that i have an ems just threw them into some sort of temper tantrum. they used to build race cars/ motors but for some reason they just didnt have it in them to work on my new age space machine from 91.

        Getcher green hat, we are goin fishin.

                  the thing that made me successful at getting my stuff aligned is that i knew where all the adjusters were on the car and hung out under the lift while they worked, to answer any questions that came up and to correct a few things.

                  they have the machine. You don't. think of it as you renting machine time from them. You're not really paying for their expertise if its a car setup they've never seen before...

                  if you have some kind of jackball camber plates that have to be taken apart to change, expect to explain it to them and/or do it yourself.

                    My car is lowered a bit but nothing rediculous and West Fargo car clinic did a great job. Stock settings but the guy seemed like he would know what to do if you wanted camber and toe different.

                    Danny: Mr. Hallorann. What's in Fargostreet?
                    Hallorann: Nothin'! There ain't nothin' in Fargostreet. But you ain't got no business goin' in there anyway. So stay out! You understand? Stay out!
