    DIY alignment - good read

    Kind of a neat read.. I wouldn't suggest doing it yourself and forgetting about going for one, professionally, but I can't see why it can't be done by anyone. A lot of people seem to think that an alignment is a taboo; it's really not much more than adjusting suspension height. It's more stringent for tire wear, but if you pay close attention, you can't go too far wrong..

    Also, a note for those changing Upper arms with adjustable ones, as well as tension rods.. MEASURE the stock unit and replace with the same dimensions. Some people throw it together and completely overlook this...

    Part of my track arsenal this year is a home alignment kit. Test n' tune days would be useless without one and a pyrometer.

    yes... I have a Miata. no... I'm not gay.
