I do have second thoughts on the alignment though.[/QUOTE]

I havn't had my front end aligned professionaly yet. But I have had my front end apart about 5 times during my build. It gets easier each time but I can see why a guy at a n alignment shop will scoff at it. It's a little more involved to move the spacers around with the Scott's front end, compared to just loosening up a few bolts a taping things with a hammer to get a standard MII aligned.

I think what I am going to do is take mine to my local shop that I have dealt with for years. Have them put the lasers on it and tell me where its at. Then take it home and tinker with it myself until I think it's close and then go back and have them check it again. This way there not trying to learn the whole process.

hell theres some guys that just do there own alignments with chaulk and a couple pieces of twine in there own garage.
