You really can't beat a push conversion. It makes working on the trans so much easier in the long run, and you don't have to worry about the stupid retainer clip. The pro-blade isn't cheap though, so I understand your sentiment.

Check the clutch pedal again, and see if you or Marc is right in the travel. You should see the pedal adjust up...toward the driver.
this is where my clutch rod is.

I went to CJ Tires to get alignment Saturday. Told them with I wanted for alignment and they told me they coundnt do anything other then stock. I told them I took my s2k there years ago and they were able to do custom alignment. He said OK, but he would charge extra if they run into problems, at $85 an hour labor. I watched them work on the car. Told them I wanted -2° camber and zero toe all around. They got to the front and said it was too hard to do camber, so I told them to leave it and fix the toe. The front camber is where I wanted anyways. They ended up charging me the normal alignment fee which was $69+tax. So now I haz mad front camber for that jdm stance meet.

I should have checked my alignment when I got the car two years ago. My rear camber was weak and rear toe was a little off. My eyeball for front camber is pretty spot on where I wanted, around 3° and I wanted a little more for driver side because of clockwise tracks. I didn't fix the front toe after installing the FA coilovers, so they were way off.

I'm worried i'm going to have the same thing happen to me, hearing they can only do stock alignments. I'm actually quite concerned.

Carson, their machine can do it but they are trained to adjust the wheels till it turns green on the screen which means its within factory specs.

Seriously the tire places with their rules on doing alignments is a joke. Right off the bat, if they won't do your car to the specs you want then there is a problem and you should not let them touch car. Just Tires by me will do whatever you want, granted the alignment guys are fellow autoxers.
Thai 3.7 is a lot of camber even for R compounds. Don't you think you are sacrificing braking performance and maybe some speed with that agressive of a camber setting?.. Educate me please
