Wheel alignment, Check.
OK, so there was no prob getting extra camber on the front at pedders. Just asked is the camber 'variable' ? he goes yeah what do you want ? ... also told him i'm goin to a track day ..... and the outside of my tyres has been getting a bit ruff. ... so he gave me a 'track day' alignment lol. -1 deg camber and a tiny bit of toe out so it don't scrub the outside of the tyres round corners .. it seems to corner well now, and the wheel is straight and doesn't wobble or anything, all the signs of good work.

I still scrub the outside of the tyres running 2deg of camber on the front at track days. 3.5 seems to be perfect, got degree marks on the strut tops so I can adjust between tracks.

Last wheel alignment cost me $80, but that was paying for time as not a standard setup to align on the car.

Pedders do a great job but then again you have to tell them from or rear only otherwise they'll do a front and rear all the time.
I cxan't remember what it cost when I had the 4 new 16'' tyres fitted but I'm thinking around the $200 for the front and rear.

I always go to Hendersons in Seaford for wheel alignments. They are specialists, and every set of tyres I've ever had in the last 20 years (since I've taken my cars to hendersons) has worn evenly and lasted well. It cost me $95 for front and rear alignments, just recently on my 2012 SV6. Don't waste your time and money getting Bob Janes or any other tyre fitters to do the alignments. They don't know enough about it and are not using sophisticated equipment. Specialists are the way to go if you want it done right.
