Best place in Edmonton for alignment?
It's always a challenge for me to find a good place to get an alignment done. I want a place that will do custom specs ACCURATELY down to the last decimal place and not whine about it. A place that will let me sit in the driver's seat during the alignment and again, not whine about it. There's nothing worse than a half-assed alignment from nonenthusiasts who just do an alignment "within specs" and have no idea why that isn't good enough. Recommendations anyone?
And while we're on the subject, does anyone recommend anything other than the factory specs for an MY07 with 215/255 Star Specs and is otherwise completely stock? I am looking for specs good for daily driving, the occasional track day...something that will give a bit of extra grip without really causing more tire wear. Or is that asking too much heh..

Go to Bert's Alignment.. He did mine PERFECTLY.. was recommended by a friend.. First thing he asked is if I was going to be tracking the car or if I had any settings I wanted him to dial in. Really knows his stuff and car steers / tracks perfectly.. Has no issues with slammed cars

The only spec's you'll be able to adjust is about .5 - .8 degrees of camber in the front or rear.
Caster and toe is un changeable.
well you can change toe, but your tires will be done in 5k.

Concur with Bert's, I've had my car done twice there. Eurasia, despite their name, won't do Hondas. I wanted to get Eurasia to do it because they have corner scales, but when I mentioned the 'H' word, they backed off! Yet ironically, I'm on their mailing list and they ask me to bring my car in for service. What?
For alignment specs, go with the 'UK alignment'. If you can't find the specs in one of the other forums, I have it kicking around here somewhere. The UK alignment specs were put together by Honda UK to help tame down the AP1's handling characteristics, especially for 00 and 01 cars...but no reason to not run the specs on AP2s, as far as I know. There is a bit more tire wear on the UK alignment specs though...

Honda UK was responding to comments in the motoring press at the time which felt that the on-limit handling of the car was a bit unpredictable.
