If they get each tire down close to -.5 degrees your tire wear will be much more even and performance will not be degraded unless you are on the track a lot. If they align it to Lexus specs all your lifetime balances will still cause inside tire wear!

Good luck

Good advice Mike. I had this done long ago to get rid of the inner tire wear problem that SC's have. Since having it aligned properly, at least what I consider properly, no more inner tire wear problems.

Use this link to find a shop near you that can do Road Force Tire Balancing. Hunter is the name of the company that makes this machine. Highly recommended!

That is a great deal but I really suggest you read it over carefully, as boring as that may be. I wouldn't go by verbal explanations of features. I'm not saying they're pulling any funny business, but it can't be as simple as get an alignment when you think you need one. I'm just an old guy that's been burned by MY OWN FAILURE to understand fully what I was buying.

The original post here from the op is more than four years old. The ones I have seen since have limits like your saying.
