    Questions to ask when getting an alignment

    Id like to discuss ^

    I'm probably going to get my done at big o, I think they quoted me like $100 is that average?

    To those of you that have done your own alignments, are there any tricks on the e30?

    Can I specify specs? E.g. .2toe out things like that?

    Would a speed shop be a better bet?

      Try and haggle down the price becuase the only thing they can really align is toe.

          That's double what I am willing to pay. Make sure that they know that YOU know that all they can adjust is front toe.

                              It has to do with the moon and the tides and shit.

                                  NO NO Toe is adjusted similar to how an AF meter works. PFM Pure Fucking Magic!

                                      I simply just ask for a front wheel alignment and not a four wheel alignment.
