Fish... YES get an alignment. Even if you return everything to the way it was, you'll still need to have it adjusted correctly. Since you lowered the car, the geometry has changed and will definitely change your camber at the very least.

I recommend NTB out in St. Peters, but anywhere else can do a good job. I chose NTB because they have a 1-year free adjustment plan with their alignments. Plus the guy in St. Peters just loves his job and is willing to align the car to your specs throughout the year. When I had the track day I definitely set the car up differently than for autocrosses, now I have to run back in and get 'er setup for winter so I can get the excess camber out and set the toe straight and true so I can spare the life of my all-seasons.

I say don't get the alignment. A little mystery when your driving is great. Also an excuse to get new tires sooner. JUST KIDDING. Glad you got it all done Fish.

I only know of the BWW off of K... You're talking about the one off of 5th St., I assume? Also, what time will you guys probably get there? I work in Creve Coeur.

It looks like the Rams game is 3:15, so if we want to do lunch and have a couple drinks at BWW beforehand then if anyone wants to head to my house to watch the game they're more than welcome to. Sound good?

I'm probably a no-show (not that I ever show anyway) I have to decorate cookies with my neices. Not sure what time it all shakes out, I might be able to drop in. You guys have fun if I don't see you.

Well this weekend is the first time I'll see my lady in 3 weeks, so I doubt I'll show on sunday. If she's doing something maybe I'll sneak away for a while. I want to show off the suspension!

Not sure I want to see you all worn out from spending time with your girl when you haven't seen her for weeks. Although, I guess you need to get air every once in a while.

Anyway, we'd love to see you!

I might make it out there. Depends what I'm up to. Layoffs are a bitch...so I'm trying to conserve as much money as possible right now. Maybe I'll feel adventurous. We'll see....

I'll be there in spirit. In reality I will be weeping over my Advanced Criminal Law book in the damn library for about 14 hours. Drink a LOT of beer for me.

That sucks. Time to get a gun and start waiving it around and randomly firing in the air each night as a warning. At least they didn't get the car!
