Default Decent Alignment Shop Around Raleigh Area?

Any recommendations for an alignment shop around the Raleigh area would be great. I bought the car used and have no real reason to be overly concerned but it couldn't hurt to make sure everything is in good shape before i really start to push it.

I was going to go with the uk settings. Its an 05 AP2 that I don't daily drive. Tire wear isn't an extreme concern so any other settings I would consider.

Thanks for your time.

Hubcap Heaven, in Cary, has a Hunter laser alignment rack and Mark does good work. He's into motorsports and as a result, doesn't shy away from customer specified alignment settings.

319-3484

I live in the Durham/Chapel Hill area though, and last took mine to Auto Pro To Call on 15-501 in Chapel Hill (adjacent to the Borders' and Lowe's complex near 40).

Don't know of places specific to Raleigh, but HH is right off Harrison Avenue so it's not real far out of the way.

My alignment specifications are as follows:
- 2 deg. negative camber all 4 corners
- 5.5 deg. caster front
(baically, the above was as much negative as they could get out of the car, and then given that, as much caster as they could get afterwards).

- 0 toe front
- 1/16" toe in rear

This is an autocross alignment. I care not about wear on my street tires either - I figure it's cheaper to wear those out somewhat fast, instead of shredding $1100/set Hoosier A6 autocross tires as a result of not enough neg. camber...
