Back at the Alignment Ranch, if they did your C5 well, and you trust them,
give it a go. Somehow I've managed to not feel the need for an alignment,
just because I got new tires, on our '01 X5, or on our '02 VetteVert, but YMMV.

Got the car aligned yesterday and it drives perfectly. Could not ask for more. However, it appears they aligned it according to an E39 5 series specs. Shop told me they were the same as my E53.
Could you take a look at my before and after alignment sheet and see if it's o.k. or not? Thanks.
