I'm looking into taking my SC in for an alignment to have the camber adjusted as close to zero as possible to minimize inside tire wear. Car has new run flats with 2,000k on them and as of yet not showing any inside wear. I've heard here and realize that the run flat are not the best tire, but I'd like to get 30,000k before replacing them. I need advice on what kind of shop will do the best job or a shop that anyone has taken their car to and had good results? I've called around I have gotten all kinds of answers and reasons, (excuses?) the work I am requesting is "not a good idea, can't be done, bring it in and we'll take a look at it, your handling will be terrible, we might be able to take some camber out", etc.
My choices are two independent Lexus/Toyota shops, two Lexus dealers and Firestone Stores.

Thanks
Mike

when I get my car alignment done they try to get it as straight up as possible. I use a local shop and they do what I want them to do. I don't use a firestone or lexus there thing is alignment and front work.

I found an indy alignment shop that does performance alignments, They are advertised as "4 wheel performance, specs provided by customer". (For any Denver forum members it's Stan's Alignment and Brake Service, on Colfax at Chester, not a bad part of Colfax). I told "Mark" to take all of the negative camber out that he could.
Front camber is now at -0.4 both sides, had averaged -0.8, rear left is -0.6 left and right -0.7, had averaged -.95 . Cost was $70.74. All the other numbers, toe, caster, cross camber and cross caster were in the specified ranges. I haven't notice any change in handling.
Stan's has been in the same location since 1960, seemed to be good people.
I'll update my tire wear.
