Would I be better off going with some Shelby racing specs or stock or something in between?? Car is lowered and has Shelby drop on upper control arms. Everything is new or rebuilt. Anyone have Shelby specs for 68's?

Double check the sheet

It wouldn't be the first time a shop didn't align the car to the specs provided by the customer.

I second that. Boy was I pissed when my favorite alignment shop screwed up my alignment. I bought different size tires and said fix the toe angle. The alignment was set up for mild race and the shop took it to stock specs. I'll never go there again. They weren't even willing to fix it.

i don't know what it's like outside of california, but i know firestone has lifetime alignment for about $170. you could get it aligned, take it out of the parking lot, hit a curb, and get it aligned again. one time fee, and they have always done excellent work.

i know i sound like spam, but hey, it's true
