Alignment and corner weighting in Oregon

Anyone know where I can go. Preferably between Eugene and Salem, but can travel up to Portland if necessary.

i believe eugene's autox club (ESCC or something?) has a set of scales. amybe you could contact one of them and ask about using it? shops will most likely rape you, as its a bit time consuming.

Yes EESCC in Eugene has a set. They usually bring them to the test and tune events. They also had them at the last dyno day. From what I recall it wasn't very costley either.
Did you get your coilovers Aaron?... What did you get?

Yeah, I got some Tein Flex on there. They feel great actually pretty smooth even though they are noticeably stiffer than stock. Not driving it right now though as I need to replace the front wheel bearings.

AR Auto in Lake Oswego will do it correctly.

It was $300 for corner weight and alignment when I had it done last year.

Unless I find somewhere closer I will probably start saving for AR Auto then. Gotta get the front wheel bearings replaced first though.

Another vote for AR Auto, They alined and corner balanced my FD for what I consider a reasonable amount (unless you have the expertise to do it yourself).

Give them a call.

This car is for street/autocross. I have other cars that I mainly drive on the street though.
