having trouble finding a good alignment shop in Auckland

[marinerbluemx5]

I'm trying to get dialed in a pretty specific and mildly aggressive alignment for my '91 MX5. I tried taking it to Frank Allen Tyres, but couldn't get them to do a proper job, like ballasting the driver's seat, getting left/right numbers the same, maximizing caster and all that.

The numbers I'm looking to try are approximately...
Rear toe: toe in, +0.15 degrees per side, +0.3 degrees total
Rear camber: -1.1 degrees
Front caster: +4.7 degrees to +5.5 degrees (whatever the maximum possible is)
Front camber: -0.6 to -0.8 degrees (maximum possible, influenced by above caster value, maintain a 0.5 difference between front and rear camber)
Front toe: toe out, -0.15 degrees per side, -0.3 degrees total, or less, towards zero front toe is also fine

The figures are basically culled from these two:
http://www.miata.net/garage/align.html
http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html

I'm kind of favoring the first since it seems more stock-oriented, the second link is for a car that's got lowered suspension and aftermarket swaybars.

I was originally going to bump this thread, but it's locked...

Guess maybe I'll try that Tyre Tech place that's mentioned in the thread linked above, I also saw Centreline Suspension recommended in another thread around here. But I figured I'd also make a new thread and ask if anyone has any other suggestions/experiences?

wairau suspension and alignment are pretty good tley have always got it spot on for me

if that's the one by the motorway then yeah I'd second Wairau .

Though I'd personally go for a smaller f/r camber difference , as I
found it frustratingly not-oversteerish (ie not-fun ;] with f -1.5* r
-2.0* ... also that much neg camber reduced traction a tad as well.
So maybe -1.0 / -1.2 F/R .
