Hey guys, anyone know of a good alignment shop near Costa Mesa/Newport/Huntington Beach/Tustin/Santa Ana? One that doesn't have some ******** tech who could care less about perfection? I'm in the middle of replacing just about my entire suspension (arms, tie rod ends, springs, etc.) and would like to have someone reputable do the job of realigning the car... thanks in advance

 

Hey Mike,

It's a bit of a drive but the guys at Western Tire in Burbank do great work... They regularly win best service in the LA Reader awards.

^^ Hey hey what's up dude!! Haven't talked to you since I met you at the Bolsa Chica BBQ last year. Thanks for the info, I'll keep that one in my back pocket.

 

Bolsa Chica: I think that was the first I took my car out after getting the new motor in... I'm finally back out playing on track now. The new intake and accusump took far longer than I thought. What all did you do for suspension work this go round?

 

Call these guys in Los Alamitos. DriftSpeed..... They do alignment according to your prefrences.

 

drift speed ftw. i bought my tranny oil there.

 

you can use a tape measurer and a piece of rope...if youre oldschool

 

Yeah I remember checking your car out, super clean man I like your style Better to take your time and do it right the first time. Suspension is nothing facncy, just trying to freshen up the rubber in the setup. Got some lower milage control arms (upper, lower, front, rear), lower milage toe links, same shocks (Tockico Illumina), tein S-tech springs, and all new rubber (spring perches, bumpstops, etc.), and new outer tie rod ends. You wouldn't believe how sloppy my tie rods and upper ball joints were. The boots were torn, and that def. accelerated the wear on the ball joints. I have everything off the car, I'm spending some time cleaning up under carriage and waiting on some parts. Should have the car ready for an alignment by Thurs.. hopefully.

 

^^ Thanks for the suggestion
