hmmm, so i got another alignment today and the IS feels more jittery and bouncy. the specs for each side are all very close and i even watched the mechanics do the alignment. idk why but every time i go over a dip or bump in the road, the back end tends to sway side to side and feels really sensitive. the only explanation would be that something wasnt tightened or its the new feel of having FIGS rear toe and traction links. heres the specs.

FRONT Actual L R Before L R
Camber -.9 -.8 -.9 -.9
Toe .06 .04 .18 .15

REAR Actual L R Before L R
Camber -2.5 -2.5 -2.3 -3.2
Toe .08 1.06 .10 .15

yeah! I just called him. He said that he doesn't have to be there to do the "hook up" he said everyone at that shop knows about his deal and will be happy to hook it up.

Not all.. There is an old school privately owned "Firestone" shop here in Norwalk corner (Norwalk Blvd and Imperial Hwy). I spoke to the guy and he said they don't and will have to go to one of those new/modern Firestone shops.

I went to that location one time and they honored it...

Perhaps they changed policy?

Oh.. They must have... I live like 1 mile away. The reason I stopped by was coz I grabbed some breakfast from McDonalds heheee... So I thought I go ask.

I also asked a question if the lifetime alignment was transferable and apparently not. Do you guys know?

According to the place I bought the alignment from, the lifetime service is not transferable.

Yeah kinda sucks... I bought my SC from a friend. He literally sold me the car like 2 weeks later after paying for a lifetime alignment from Firestone. I guess I'll contact him one of these days to see if he can take the car in for me ... Its been a while tho. I've owned the car for over a year now.
