I think Speeddemon32 has the lifetime alignment on his race prepped Miata and they don't give him issues. He gets the alignment done before every event. I think he mentioned they weren't super pleased with him the first time he went back but now they don't care. He tells them what alignment specs and they do it.

gr8: wait until you get your new tires to get an alignment.
how far is Torrance from you? There's a shop there (Status VIP) that rolled my fenders. They don't do alignment though, it's tough to find a shop that does both.


why do you think you need to roll your fenders?
new wheels as well? size / offset plz.
