carsareart is infamous around these parts
I was going through tires every 8-10 thousand miles too. I had mine realigned and now my rear tires are lasting much longer. I think my autocross times are up a little and I have found the car a little easier to spin. I can still double most freeway cloverleafs.....I do not have the specs on the alignment...I wonder what they are? As far as autocross times, every month we have a different layout on our track, apples to oranges here. I am going by seatofpants meter for this judgement.

thx for the feedback! i'm going to take my car in for an alignment next week. Can i just tell them to adjust according to the factory settings? Thx! john
