I’ve been tempted to go for the Pedders hats, but camber bolts get me -1.5 up front which is, for my purposes, plenty.
to folks who do their own alignments. I’m too lazy (and old) for that. The car is lucky to get 5k miles a year. My tires will age out long before they wear out. There’s a decent alignment shop in town. They’ll get it within a tenth of a degree for $100. That’s well within my sensory zone of indifference. For a street only car that sees limited use $100 every couple years is ok.

Those easy packs are nice. The little transfer pumps are no big deal, I just find they don't last that long but they are also like 8 bucks. You can also use a little compressed air to pressurize the bottle, one feed to trans one for compressed air in, to push the fluid out. Just be careful or it ends up EVERYWHERE and tastes terrible.

I'm excited about learning alignment. MSG and I live about an hour apart from each other. It's a great excuse to hang out for a day.

Edit. I’m sure you’ll post them without prompting, but I’m interested in your impressions.
