I'm sure the new members continue to appreciate your help and welcome gestures. Same great taste, new label eh?
A sticky would kick ****. Good idea.

I can be a total *** and help right? It's like being a an ******* teacher that you hate him for but you also get alot of info out of him if you read between the jaded lines.
Oh and BTW, you must not have searched very hard. I searched in the bay area forums with the keyword "alignment":

That's just from the first 2 pages of search results out of 7. How the hell is that "F*CK ALL"?
next.

I wouldn't go anywhere else than Roger Kraus Racing
www.rogerkrausracing.com
They're in Castro Valley, you have a racecar driver aligning your car on properly calibrated equipment, and the best service around.
They are the only shop I bring my alignments to, and they consistently exceed expectations.
Unlike A.I., they are equipped and skilled enough to do corner-weighting for you coilover folks.
Plus you get to see real racecars getting worked-on while you're there...
Brandon Kraus, the head alignment tech, used to race for years in the NASCAR Southwest Series, and is moving up to Trans-Am cars.
He has helped both Gary Sheehan and Brian Lock set up their racecars for the track.

What I did: Went to the Bay Area Forum main page, clicked the word "search" and typed the word "alignment" in the little box that popped up. Once the page loaded, I started looking at the thread titles for something to do with alignment.
I know you help a lot. It's cool. You know I thought the sticky was a good idea because I said: Good idea.
You can be however you want to be - as long as you acknowledge that other people can too. I wasn't taking the ****, I really did go and search and look through a few threads on the first two pages. I guess I used the method known as "The Wrong Way."
And no - I didn't search very hard. But I did SEARCH which is more than most people do. As I type this I remember I posted a "where do I get an alignment" post when I put in my springs. Someone suggested AI and I felt dumb again. Wee.
I didn't see anything helpful (cept this thread) regarding alignment when I searched. That's how that's "****all" to me, your results may vary. I did not look at each thread individually tho.
Next time I will search better. I was just trying to point out that even when someone tries, they can fail - and they will still get *****ed at by someone who... Maybe just misunderstood. Yay for internet. Some dude without a face just delivered my shortblock I have been waiting for months to recieve so I am gonna go stare at pretty metal things.

I highly recommend Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley. That is where my racecars go, period. Brandon is an expert, has LOTS of experience with many types of cars and is a good guy on top of that.
If you have them do a corner-weight and alignment, they also provide a very nice booklet with all of your before and after specs on it. Very good for tracking changes to your alignment and performance gains.
Roger and Brandon have always been great to work with and I will continue to do business with them.

Pretty impressive specs for Roger Kraus Racing!
For convenience sake, and cause they've been getting a lot of my business for the last 4 years with nary a hitch, I've scheduled with Auto Innovations. thanks, folks!
