I called a few places but they won't do it because my car is to low. Anyone know of someone who will in So.Cali? Thanks!

 

I know a great place here in Milpitas, so drive your car back up here foo

 

pacific tire on hawthorne and 149th st in lawndale will do it for $60

 

Yo man! You still working a lot? You know damn well im not gonna drive to N.Cali just for an alignment foo.

Lawndale isn't to far. You have any more info on them? They will do it low car and all? And a good job? I'll try calling tomorrow. They're in the phonebook maybe? Thanks!

 

Any Firestone shop will do it. I have the lifetime alignment deal for $140.00. I can come in every week if I wanted. Very worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a while and change your suspension settings frequently like me.

 

I heard about that...

But I also here there is a difference between a quality sport suspension alignment vs a standard alignment. Of course if you have coil-overs at a professional alignment shop you can have all 4 corners of the car weighed and adjusted to spec. Firestone won't do that...

I've been interested in doing this firestone deal... I have a local friend who has it. Alightments are always a PITA cause my car sits so damn low and my oil cooler gets so close to hitting the ramp... ALWAYS have to used boards.

 

West End alignment in gardena 310 808 9233. This guys does everything with alignment. Coilovers, corner and balancing, upgraded brakes, light track, full race, canyon, drift...you have to book in advance about 2 weeks ...cool guy, you can ask him anything, even newbie questions and wont make you feel like an ***.

 

Alex Pfeiffer @ G dimensions will corner balance/align your car for $200, I think they are in Costa Mesa.

 

+1

and all the local autocrossers reccomend him.

 

This place is highly praised in the s2000 community.

 

Well Im going to call him tomorrow then see how much and if he can fit in a front alignment. I do have coils, so if Mr. Pfeiffer does the corner balance that cheap I'll go for it. But that sounds very inexpensive.

Andrew, do you have a number for G Dimensions?

Does Firestone do good alignments? And how much for just 1? I don't plan on adjusting the coils anymore. Thanks for all the advise guys. I'll call them all 1st thing tomorrow.

 

Pm'd you

 

wow just when i need an alignment

 

Wow you wern't kidding. I have to call on a specific day at a specific time just to schedule a appointment. Really cool guy though.

 

Yea, i think you can only schedule on mondays....hes definately worth it though......when he was finished with my car, he gave me the specs. What my car weighs, the weight from each corner, left and right side weight, front and rear weight ratio, then he told me how i can fix or adjust the weight of my car for a more 50/50 weight ratio. I think it was a 51/49 weight ratio front to back, same thing left to right. Alignment was $95 front and rear and corner balancing was $115

 

Darin at West End. HIGHLY regarded by BMW, Porsche, and Honda guys. Gets lots of industry business too. But yes...he does have a waiting list.

He does high quality work. His attention to detail is what keeps me going back.

 

We can do it at the Wheelstore in Oceanside. 208 S Coast Hwy Oceanside,CA 92054 760-967-1336

Our alignment machine is flush with the ground if you can drive it without scraping we can get it on the alignment machine. Alignment is $69

We also do corner balancing for $200 with the driver in the car.

We have raced MAzda's for 20 years. Currently we have Mazda6, mazda 323gtx rally car, a mazdaspeed miata for drift, a new REPU shop truck.

We race a mazda 6 in speed world challenge touring car.

 

He's going to have Alex P cornerbalance/align his car, everything for 150. Pretty good price! Tell us how it turns out man!

 

For a real race alignment, West End is the best. Darin is cool, and knows what he's doing. You actually sit in the car while he adjusts it. All sorts of race car owners say he's the best. I got mine from him, couldn't be more happier with the setup.

 

Yup I have an appointment with Alex Pfeiffer over at G Dimensions. I was told $150.00 Over the phone for alighnment and corner balancing. I let you guys know how it goes. But this is a good thread for futur reference.

 

I got the car set-up today! It was a really good experience. Alex was great, he took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything he was doing. He showed me the weight of the car, with me in and out. ( 2628lbs w/o)

I say he "set-up" the car because aside from the corner balance, he also adjusted the camber plates and front and rear toe and alignment. He would have adjusted my sway bars and rear camber but those aren't adjustable. He also adjusted the dampening on my coils since the car was under steering a lot.

He asked me what I wanted the car set up for. Drift, autoX, grip, ext... since I wanted to do mostly drift and some grip he explained to me what he thought would be best and what he was going to adjust. He wrote down everything for me so I have everything that was done. It was great just to talk to him, he's a really cool guy. It was also fun going on a test drive with him. He had to test the steering and the handling of the car. I would definitely recommend Alex. The car feels awesome and I think it will do even better at the track.
