I just had my alignment done at Foreign Exchange. I'll be going back there to get the car leveled and corner balanced. They will corner balance the car with you in it. The price is somewhat decent, $120 for alignment with tax and everything included in that price. They said it would be about the same price as the alignment for corner balancing/height adjustment of the coilovers but maybe a little more.
They will get the specs you want. I went a little to aggresive on my camber in the front. So I'll get that fixed when I get the corner balancing done.
Congrats on the baby.
Jason, you've been a busy boy since the last time i saw you 
Congrats on the baby! These guys have given you pretty good spots to start off with the alignment. Keep in mind, with the stock suspension you will see close to -2 degrees of camber...maybe more ..maybe less.

I saw a white Evo IX today with plates that read LST 4G63.
What until you all see my front diff. I pulled out the carrier/pumpkin and diff teeth fell out all over the place. I also have a little damage to the tips of my output shafts. Now I'm in the process of trying to get the pumpkin apart...

Thanks so much guys! Carter, what can I say!?! He, He. I will be checking them out. I definately need a good alignment. Since I am putting some winter tires on the Enkei's, I am going to get another set of wheels and tires for daily driving and autox. I really want to get into more autox this year. I went to the Corvette of Troy Charity for Spina Bifida last night. It was a great time, those kids really appreciated a 20k check. They also gave away two brand new Corvettes. They have alot of events other cars are invited to as well all located at KilKare.

Could have been the half dozen or so dragstrip passes he made AFTER it broke. Or maye the 40 mile drive home afterwards.
The diff broke on my first pass. A 6000rpm launch off the 2step with AO32r's. I think 90% of the damage was done then.
I still can't get the carrier apart. Jon at TRE thinks it is going to require using a press because it might be wedged together with broken pieces. They usually come apart easily.
A word of advise to anyone that has an open diff...replace it before it breaks

Bad news. I got the carrier apart. FINALLY. It is toast though. The pieces that broke off pretty much destroyed the inside of my carrier. Now I have to get a new carrier 
Good thing I got a decent deal on the lsd.

I can get a new one from TRE for $300. I'm going to wait a few days and look for a used one. I might look into having mine repaired also...
