Default Corner Weighting a Car / Camber Adjustment

Does anyone know of a shop in the bay area that can do such an adjustment? I will be providing a car with adjustable upper control arms, and it has coil overs so all of that can be adjusted as well.

Also, somewhat off the main question. Why could'nt I just park it on four scales and raise/lower the height to match the scales properly? Seems rather basic.

On the same note, what would be the ideal camber adjustment? I mean, are they just going to adjust it to '0' so that there is no negative or positive camber, and corner weight the car? Or are they going to give it a little bit of camber to help the tire "roll over" when I turn hard.

Just curious.

Custom Alignment.

Talk to them about your needs, dont talk to the old guy at the front desk though unless you want to know how much its going to cost you.

The techs will take your car out and keep taking it out until its "right" Very worth the money imo.

Sweet.
Thanks.

I have no problem paying someone for the good tuning, so long as I'm around to learn about it while they do it -- and they do in fact, do a good job.

Thanks uh... thx.
