definitely does effect perfect. I mean, how could it not. if the wheels are point toward or away from each other, how is that good for the car or for perfomance.

anyways, I had a terrible alignment after lowering my integra and installing the Full Race traction bars. I got an alignment, not only did it fix my steering wheel being off, it stopped the pull, it stopped some sort of whobble type **** going on.

so i would say yes, bad alignment is bad for performance.

What doesn't feel right? Does the car pull to one side? Steering wheel shakes?

i thought he meant when he gunned it, it felt slow....

the alignment isnt going to make a car noticeably slower... unless its WAY off
