I want to get my tires from the right side wheels to the left side wheels (the camber has been eating the insides) but the last time I tried to get this simple task performed the shop, discount tire I think, told me they couldn't do that for legal reasons or some ****.

The wear isn't quite to the wear bars yet... What shop around here would you guys recommend? I think my alignment also has shifted from when I had it done last. I measured the rears with a simple ggeometric plumb-bob sort of device at around -2.4 degrees...from -1.5. oops.

Discount Tire is a joke. Find a mexican shop somewhere. Alignment though I have no idea.

Gils tire off san pedro..

It looks kinda ghetto but they do solid work and will set your alignment to your own specs. stock is anywhere between -1.8 to -2.2 in the rear if I remember correctly.

Ok I opened the Denso Plugs I got from the drawing at the state meet (thanks sparkplugs.com) and the set is 2 leading and 2 trailing. It struck me as odd on 2 things. Neither has the 4 notches and one is longe than the other. After looking them up on their website I believe this is the set for the rx-7. Their listing for rx-8 shows just the trailing. So do you think these will work? i never noticed our plugs being different lengths.

Ok I manned up and read the specs...lol the thread size and reach match the oem ngks. The only difference is the leadings do not have the notches.

FYI

Leading 14mm thread 21mm reach
Trailing 14mm thread 19mm reach
