I must respectfully disagree...mainly based on spending many hours reading Howard Coleman's suspension thread, the responses and threads by other long time owners. I believe it was MooseJaw who took his car there amongst other owners.
With every aspect of my suspension now adjustable and with my desire to have very specific ride height, camber, etc set...along with proof of before and after...I'm not taking this to my local Tire Store Chain!
This is being turned into a track car slowly but surely as I keep an eye out for a nice DD 7 (probably a 1st Gen or maybe a shell to go LS in).

Gringo,
I believe Pettit Racing does corner balancing... That would be what you are looking for. Regular alignments is probably the one thing you don't want since you have done adjustable suspension.
I plan to have mine corner balanced one day to make sure it rides real nice...

finally got my turbo put back on, hopefully for the last time. I have this weird obsession with changing my entire setup anytime the car goes down. I can't help but to start with something new an different from the last. Nothing was broken or damaged last time, just stripped the car down for paint and when I put it back together i decided to change the setup. lol

As far as ride height is concerned, the only thing to do with that is to get the car corner balanced. When it comes to camber/caster/toe then yeah I completely agree you need to go to someone who knows how to set it up correctly.
I highly recommend a place down here called the alignment factory. It's just a one man operation and the guy's been doing nothing but alignments for many years. Myself and many others from when I use to road race always took our cars to him for competition alignments. He's not cheap, and you have to make an appointment with him well in advance, but as far as I'm concerned he's the best.
You can also go Edgar at mazdapros as the other guys have mentioned, they all take their cars to him for that. I haven't personally gone to him though because I'm closer to the other place.

after 4 months of sitting on my car I finally finished wiring the MSD6al-2 and MSD gm 8224 coil.

I spent all day trying to get my louvers installed.. I found a good enough solution although having proper hardware would have been ideal.
This picture is just a preview, as I haven't painted them yet and didn't really have it installed when I took this picture:

I'm about to go out and take some better pictures with the louvers finally installed but I'll probably just post most of them in my build thread, I hate to clog up this thread with my pictures :P
