Recomendations:Toronto shop for alignment?

I'm a very happy new RX8 owner (2006 GT) and a newbie to this forum.

I'm hoping to take the car to Mosport and SMP for some track days this summer and was wondering who Toronto-area RX8 owners take their cars to set up the alignment for the track?

I'm far from being an expert on toe/camber/caster so would really appreciate a recomendation for a shop that has experiance setting up RX8's for the street and occational track use.

I have searched through the forum and found some good recomendations for settings... but don't have a contact for actually getting the work done (though 4 Star Racing in Georgetown may be my final port of call).

Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, and hope to meet some of you at the track this summer!

Tim.

Scarborough Mazda has a good tech to do that. That's where I got mine done.

Welcome! and congrats on the buy! It's a fun fun car

Take it to Scarb mazda, they have a state of the art alignment machine. Call them talk to Al he will tell you all about it. Little more expensive than other alignment places tho.

Info update. He also races a ported FB Rx-7, and is a class A racing driver license holder, and certified HPDE driving instructor.
