Wheel Alignment/Bushings

Can anyone reccommend a reputable wheel alignment shop around the Sunnyvale/Moutain View area for a FD?

Also, I'm looking for some feedback on aftermarket suspension bushings. I have a 93 R1 and will need to replace the fronts in a couple months.
Any reccomendations?

Thanks in advance.

I would replace the bushings or lower the car or do anything that will alter the suppension before the alignment, why pay for alignment twice.

Svelte 7,

Check out Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They are great. They'll set your alignment specs to whatever you want, and if you ask them to, they'll even do the alignment with your weight in the driver's seat. There are always a lot of fast/race cars in their parking lot.

You can also see their website at http://www.customalignment.com

Bushings & bearings

You can oder that stuff from Mazdatrix. They are doing my car right now.

That alignment place sounds good but would cost me as much on gas as the alignment.

Thanks for input and reccomendations. I just had my 30k on the car and my mechanic noticed some increased tire wear on the passenger side inner front tire - which led him to a worn bushing on the upper control arm. It'll take me a couple months for me to save up the $$$ to have the fronts replaced but in the meantime, I'd like to preserve my tires.
