[Shotimes] New Car

[Marc Randolph]

Maybe you'll be like me and run to the Doug Lewis' recommended alignment
center, Kaufman Tire in Douglasville, and then cringe when Josh points out
that your SHO is prone to produce negative camber due to shock mount angle
and will pull right. Gee, that's just what it was doing. He moved the
subframe a bit to compensate, noted that a good $1500 would solve it
(strtuts, caps and springs) but that it would now track straight, and took
my $49.95. I can expect slightly less tire life on the driver's front.

On the trip to Daytona, it still pulled a little but much better. I'll pay
Josh another visit. This all with just 65K miles?
