The toe is what kills tires and makes the car drive weird(unless you're talking about 3+ degrees of camber type stuff).Where did you have it done?

Lol. I had -3.8 degrees all the way around when i came in. AND, that's after i adjusted the rear camber to knock out as much negative as possible.

My toe was wack. Driver's front was 0.23 degrees, and the passenger front was at -0.8 degrees. The driver's rear and passenger rear were -1.47 and -1.00 degrees respectively. To be totally honest, my car handled like crap, but it sure wanted to swing it's booty around.

Now my toe is all within 0.12-0.17 degrees. And my camber has been lessened to -2.9 degrees in the rear and -2.4 in the front.

She handles so much better now, and the steering wheel is straight. Lol. Got it all done at Oak Grove Firestone, as it's within walking distance to my house (didn't feel like waiting for 3 hours). $191 well spent (lifetime!).

And about the "quake"....wtf. I literally didn't feel a single thing. I was in Food Lion and i get a phone call from my mother asking if i was alright. Ehh....

Does anyone have a good recommendation for getting keys cut? Moar specifically, the funky Lexus kind:



The housing on mine is falling apart and you can't transfer the key blade into another housing. Doesn't have a chip so i just need someone who can cut these types of keys.
