@creamsoda Automatrix is good if you get the owner, Ed. I don't really trust the other guys as much :/ I'm in the market to find a new go-to place after I install my Ohlins. my most important requirement is that they let me be present during the alignment / sitting in the driver's seat. What have you heard about Speedstars?

What suspension setup do you guys prefer for cayuga, the first two corners always make me want to set the car up soft and high to handle the bumps but then the rest of the track I want the car nice and compliant... Whenever I adjust the setup to "in between" I feel like I lose total lap time...
@Canehda I don't think simply tire offers alignments...unless they got an alignment machine in the past half year.

I'd be interested to know this info as well.

Looks like one of those typical discount hole-in-the-wall "tuning" shops that sell sub-par garbage that fits like shit, but I will reserve my judgement for now.

@Dave Pratte (the guy driving in that video) probably has more laps at TMP than the rest of us combined

As for alignments, call Scott at Can Alignment. He's a perfectionist, and knows A LOT about setting up track cars.

@wparsons anyone comparable that's a bit more central to GTA? I'm sure he's worth the drive (site looks legit) but hypothetical situation, after installing some parts my alignment is so wonkey that it's dangerous to go that far haha.
