Alignment problems
Hi I have came across the problem of getting my alignment done at america tire co........
now my car handles worse than before and when I went back to have them correct it, they keep stating "there is no problem".
Would anyone out there possibly give me the "Stock specs" to the 2002 s2k Alignment??
and also.... will 17 inch rims affect the "stock specs"?
Any help is appreciated.....
Thanks in Advance!

not that far from where you took it is probably the best in the la area:
Darin Nishimura
westend alignment
18008 S. Vermont Ave.
Gardena, California 90248
(310) 808-9233
darin is an artist... you gotta watch him work. when i take my cars in, i take a chair and sit in the shop (he has chairs there too so you dont really have to take your own) just to watch him. worth taking it to darin- but he gets booked up so call first.

another kick ass alignment joint in SoCal is in OC:
ACCURATE ALIGNMENT
971 N. Batavia St.
Orange
T: 714.538.1916
instead of sitting in the chair and watching the alignment being done, ask them to let you SIT IN THE CAR and watch them do their magic. these guys do race cars and a lot of miatas... (no affil, etc.)

Are the numbers on the right the proper allignment specs?

FIrst you change tire sizes, then you have the car alligned at jiffy lube, and now you ask why you have problems??
