I'd recommend the Firestone life time alignment. I paid $169 and I have already used it 4 times in the past 8 months - well worth it. Print out is free unlike some places that charge an extra $10 (ridiculous). They use the latest Hunter alignment machine and my car is lowered with coilovers. Further, I have a front lip and they are able to get my car up on the ramp without issues.

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know what your camber is set to in the front and rear? Hopefully I can get them to deal out some of the negative. I'm currently at -2.0 in the rear.

You could also check out Autoscope. 2 locations in Dallas, 1 in Plano. The shop on Denton Drive close to Love Field did my alignment and its rock solid, no unusual wear etc.

From the printout received, it specifies a range between -1.7 to -2.3 for the rears. I've asked to set mine at -1.7

What are the specs on your front and rear camber? I'm trying to preserve my tires for as long as I can.
