Need an Alignment for a lowered FD in SF or the Peninsula

Liek the title says, I need to get my car aligned after doing my bushings and getting new tires. Can anyone recommend a good shop that can properly align my car(camber & caster adjustments and all...) I don't trust the folks at Wheelworks or Firestone.

Rx7will? You out there?

I've used:

Custom Alignment in Mountain View
Krause Racing: http://www.rogerkrausracing.com/services.html

Both do great work however Krause Racing is in Castro Valley, ie. closer to SF - not to mention less expensive.

I forgot the shop he works at but he also did my alignment for my track car. Great job and he's located nearby SFSU. Tell him Kevin sent you.

C2 Automotive in Oakland or Roger Kraus racing in Castro Valley is who I would go to.

What is a ballpark price at these places for a non corner-weight alignment, i.e., basic caster/camber/toe?

Anywhere from $60-$80, I believe for a non-cornerweighted alignment.

I had the car corner-balanced and aligned by Will at C2 (before he sold the shop) for $250.

Will at C2 aligned and corner weighted my car. On a 200' skippad with Mich Pilot Sport Cup tires and street alignment it pulled 1.13g's in Sport Compact Car Mag "USCC."

I'd say he did a good job.
