4 wheel alignment
I'm planning to take off my snow tires and rims and put on the summer ones. What's the best place in town for me to do this that can give me a proper 4 wheel alignment?

Yes that's the place to go apparently and they enjoy doing S2000's too. Steve said he had a great experience at the Merivale Frisby as well and CanadianTire on Carling ask for Geoff and that worked well for me.

I know Frisby on Industrial does a good job.

The Merivale Fisby alignment specialist left last year. The one that did work for local race teams, so I have no special recommendation for that location anymore.

Found my 4 year old review:

1) More negative camber, which increases cornering grip while reducing straight line grip. If you drive like a track star it will reduce outside tire wear, but for most daily drivers increases inside tire wear.
2) Make front toe in to no toe. Toe in gives straight line stability under braking, trading off with understeer. Making the toe 0 makes the steering a little more responsive, which also makes it jittery to road irregularities.
3) Reduction in rear toe. This reduces rear end stability under braking and cornering, but makes acceleration more lively and reduces rear tire wear by reducing the scrubbing associated with toed wheel alignment.
