4 wheel alignment questions.

I am having the toe in and camber adjustment tabs put in my car and was wondering how to go about an alignment. Does anyone know a local guy in Orlando? My mechanic (a race prep specialist) is going to "eyeball" the rear end after he reassembles the rear sub frame. new bushings, sub frame mounts, dif repair/refresh. How critical is a thrust alignment if he is reasonably accurate with his set. He does not have a 4 wheel alignment rig.

Find the shop in your area that is popular with the track/performance car crowd. It is all VERY critical.. If his machine sets front alignment based on the readings from the back wheels, and he eyeballed the rear, who knows what you will end up with.

Here in Cincinnati, there is one shop that does it 100% right. Performance Alignment. From my basic 2002 front end, to full track settings with corner weighting.. That's the kind of place you want if you have added rear adjustment.

2002 newbie, and dead serious about it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
