Track and performance cars often need alignment goals that differ from ordinary street settings. Fastlane can measure and adjust camber, caster and toe around the vehicle, suspension hardware and intended use.

What makes a performance alignment different from a normal alignment? A performance alignment can use custom targets based on suspension setup and intended use instead of relying only on standard factory street specifications. Fastlane discusses the goal before setting the vehicle.
Performance Setup Options
Alignment Targets Should Match How the Car Is Driven
A road-course car, drag-oriented car and spirited street car place different demands on tires and suspension geometry. The setup starts with measurement and a clear understanding of the vehicle's use.
01
Road-Course Alignment
Camber, caster and toe can be adjusted within the vehicle's available range to support predictable turn-in and handling for track use.
02
Drag & Straight-Line Setup
Straight-line performance puts a premium on stability, tire contact and consistent tracking under acceleration.
03
Street/Track Compromise
Cars that still see regular street mileage may need a more conservative balance between tire wear and track-oriented geometry.
04
Post-Modification Setup
Coilovers, control arms, bushings and ride-height changes should be followed by an alignment that accounts for the new geometry.
When to Recheck Performance Alignment
Setup Changes Can Move the Alignment Away from Your Target
Performance vehicles often use adjustable suspension components, which makes alignment measurement important after changes or hard track use.
01
Before a Track Event
A pre-event alignment check can confirm that the vehicle is still at the intended settings.
02
After Suspension Changes
Coilovers, control arms and other adjustments can change camber, caster and toe.
03
Steering Wheel Is Off-Center
A steering wheel that no longer sits straight can indicate the setup has shifted or needs correction.
04
Uneven Performance Tire Wear
Aggressive geometry can be intentional, but unexpected wear may show that the current setup is not working as planned.
05
Vehicle Feels Unstable at Speed
Straight-line wandering or instability deserves an alignment and suspension inspection before high-speed use.
06
Ride Height Has Changed
Changing ride height changes geometry and should be followed by measurement before relying on the previous setup.
Custom Targets Require Context
Performance Alignment Is a Setup Decision, Not Just a Green-Spec Screen
Fastlane uses Hunter digital alignment equipment to measure the vehicle accurately, then considers the suspension hardware, available adjustment range and intended use before finalizing the setup.
A track-focused target may trade some street tire life for performance, while a dual-purpose car may benefit from a more conservative compromise.
Alignment Angles That Shape the Setup
Camber: Wheel tilt affects tire contact and cornering behavior within the limits of the suspension.
Caster: Steering-axis angle influences stability, steering return and front-end feel.
Toe: Small toe changes can have a major effect on straight-line behavior and tire wear.
Thrust and four-wheel relationship: Measuring all four wheels helps ensure the vehicle tracks consistently as a complete chassis.

Performance setup often overlaps with lowered-vehicle and suspension work.
Performance alignment is highly vehicle-specific, so suspension hardware and intended use should be discussed before the setup is finalized.
What is a race or performance alignment?
It is a wheel alignment that uses custom targets based on the vehicle, suspension setup and intended performance use rather than relying only on standard street specifications.
Can Fastlane set camber, caster and toe for track use?
Yes. Fastlane can measure and adjust the available alignment angles within the limits of the vehicle and installed suspension hardware.
Do I need an alignment after installing coilovers or control arms?
Yes. Suspension changes can alter wheel position and alignment geometry, so the vehicle should be measured after installation.
Can a performance alignment still work for street driving?
Yes, but the targets may need to balance tire life and road manners against track-oriented handling goals. Discuss how the vehicle is actually used.
Can I schedule performance alignment at any Fastlane location?
Yes. Performance and custom alignment can be scheduled through Fastlane locations in Hiram, Smyrna and Woodstock. Provide the vehicle setup details when scheduling.
