Rear is the same. .05 each side. And I must say the wear on my tires is incredibly long even though lowered. My PSS's will last 25k easily. Last set I went through in 10k.

So two years+ later, how is the alignment working out for you?

There is a shop in Orlando that the Corvette forums seem to
like a lot: Tredalign .. the owner is Robert.

Great, I'm still on the original set of tires at 7800 miles. I'll take some poictures of the wear and post over the next few days. they are worn due to track use but probably have another 4k miles in them.

Really happy with the alignment overall the feel of the car is incredable.

Good to hear from you Max. How's the tune holding up? Any more problems with it reverting back to stock tune?

Everything has been golden, other than a low tyre pressure system error. I can't complain about a single issue. The ECM did go to a detuned state when I didn't tighten the gas cap correctly, but once I cleared the code the tune was still there.. It looks like you have to make sure no codes are active or saved.

It just took some time to work out the bugs, as we dont have to many shops with experience in modifying Jags. The car is a blast to drive and sounds great!

Where did you go for your tune and 3 lb. pulley? Will a low brake pad message also knock it down to stock tune?

The tune is from Eurocharged but I had to have the value changed for the high flow cats by RSC tuning.

I do not beleive a brake pad message would limit engine power, just codes related to the engine so its not damaged. I'm not 100% sure about that but other codes have not caused the car to revert to "limp home" mode.

Theres a really long thread on here somewhere about the tune. It was a challange to say the least, but worked out for everyone.
