exactly.
We have a shop out here that does corner balancing and what they call full custom race alignments either to your specs or the spec of some of their more expirienced techs. I have been in shop when some pretty high end cars have come through and the drivers thought their cars were amazing before hand. Balancing is done and the alignment and a few other adjustments 5 of 6 say that the post set up made the pre set up feel like driving a logging truck.
I have said before that our cars have a pretty decent amount of adjustment in the suspension from the factory. After I did a ton of research I realized that for drifting bushings, dampers/springs and sway bars are probably the most important things you can do. Toe and traction rods aren't horribly necessary and UCAS and LCAS seem to be more for people fitting huge wheels and so on
