^^^ Umm ya. Tire Factory in Eugene will give you any alignment you specify for a damn cheap price..... you don't need to pay extra just know who to go to.

Once again that's Tire Factory in Eugene. Ask for Rob, tell him Jim or Jon sent you = win.

Getting a good alignment is only half the battle though, really knowing what you should use, the geometry of the suspension (which in the rear isn't the easiest task), and knowing how the car will react with the mods it has. I'm not knocking your friend at all, but just saying "aggressive" doesn't mean anything really.

I'm also not saying that there is ANY shop at ALL in the NW that has enough experience to be an expert on getting the second part of a proper alignment done on our chasis. If enough people go through there and give eachother feedback on what they ran and how it reacted we could though.
