Yeah, regardless of if you tell them DCAWD sent you, they will do an awesome job. We are talking fractions of a degree accuracy mirrored from one side to another.
Plus, they are cool guys and have an awesome waiting area.

That is where I took my '04 to get aligned and that is where I take my '08 to get aligned. Great bunch of people and they do it right.

(I was gonna just ask for alignment, but if you got some secret formula for success, I'd love to know what it is.)

Is there something specific I should be asking for?chicken n waffles wrote: had mine done there last year to custom specifications per my own request.

Depends on what you want it for. If you want stock settings for a bit of understeer, self centering, and less tendancy to follow grooves, then just ask them for stock settings.
You can get the caster and camber all whacked out so that you can carve up an auto-x course (and your tires).
Or do something in between for a bit more bite on turn-in, easier to controll rotation in corners, and a fair bit of high speed stability.
If you really want to get it set up to some exact specs, it would be good to get some rear camber bolts so that you could adjust the back end of the car.

I'm not sure what the existing setup would be described as. The wheel already has a mind of its own whenever there's a bump or the road is uneven.
My requirements are pretty basic. I'm trying to get even left/right tire wear, and I want the steering to be properly centered.
All the other stuff I can have some fun with.
I wouldn't mind trying out a more exciting/driver-involved setup.
I'll ask them what they think would be a good middle-ground between what I have and something 'whacked out'. If I hate it I can always get it undone. No biggie.
