Noobs & Novices: Suspension & Alignment 101
If you're interested in watching a 20 minute long video which I tell you is entirely worth your time then please watch.

Basically, he explains the different aspects of alignment, from a simple street setup to what a more experienced driver might want.
He also dips into Sway Bars, Spring Rates, Coil Overs, etc.
1) If you're asking your self, what suspension should I go with? WATCH THIS!
2) If you're asking why your tires are wearing wrong? WATCH THIS!
3) If you're wondering what coil overs to go with? WATCH THIS!
Thanks!

Darin did a corner balancing & alignment on my SC after I installed my coilovers.
He is well known for this stuff - old school - No fancy equipment at his shop.
All done by his own calculation on piece of paper.
He will not let you leave his shop if he thinks your car is not perfect yet.
Make sure make an appointment. He is always fully booked. He won't take walk ins.

That was an amazing video!! I think flat out, 100% no questions that should either be a sticky, or in the links thread. I though, THOUGHT, I knew a bit about suspension, but that video was not only very enlightening, but made me feel a bit dumb at the same time.
Thank you for posting that up, but at the same time now I am upset I dont live closer to simply let him work on my SC's suspension, even just an alignment.
