Maybe thats why my car doesnt seem to handle as well after the spring install. The Goodyear shop i had my alignment done at i think set it close to zero camber... I think my alignment sheet is in the glove box. Ill have to recheck it... Or is there any place in Reno to get it checked?

les schwab can do it but requires appointment...... if its set at 0, u can probly tell them(goodyear) to fix it for free., just gotta be able to show them in writing what the camber specs should be.

I think its the toe that you want zero out to prevent uneven wear.

Toe is only one of the things to get even tire wear. Toe and camber are the biggest things in keeping tire wear even. I believe with our cars its just something we have to deal with (the negative camber and uneven tire wear) to have the handling that we love with these cars. Ill see if i can find my receipt for goodyear and see if they will honor the 1 year warranty that my goodyear gave me. Does Les Schwab do good tire alignments?

You might want to mention your misfire while getting a tune this weekend.I think its from the cams but i could be wrong.

Yeah man, thanks though........ I just decided to go with the stock airbox mod. with a drop in k&n. It runs great now, a vast improvement over the cone.
