alignment & replacement rear tires

Mileage: 91709

I got some cheapo kumho ecsta supra v712's on ebay ($4.75 for the tires, $65.87 shipping) to replace the badly worn rear tires. I took them to some shady local place that couldn't mount them for 2 days, then to Sears, who wouldn't mount them if I didn't buy them there. So, my 3rd choice was Firestone. Damn those guys suck. $70 for mounting and balancing 2 tires. I cheaped out, and it was still expensive in the end. No more stupid half assed tire setups for me... I'll get a full set of tires next time.

After doing the RTABs I needed an alignment for sure. While I was getting it aligned, I decided to go with JohnV's recipe for autox setup. I took the car to Rennwerks in Mountain View. I talked to Steve and he talked me out of 1/8" toe out up front. He said it'd eat my tires and since it's a daily driver it's not a good idea. So I ended up with 0 toe front and back, max/stock camber in the front (1.4* L 1.7* R), and -1* in the rear. Steve also noted that one of the tie rods is rusted and due for replacement, as are some of the rear adjustment bolts.

Hopefully the alignment will pay off in 2 weeks at the SCCA autox school.
