anyone know where i can go to get a good alignment with my custom suspension?

most local places like belle tire and the like won't do it. someone told me there is a place in the area that deals with custom hot rod suspensions that could help but didn't know the name.

 

I dont know any custom places. but you know I could do it. I dont see whats so diff. about doin your align then stock. only thing is Id be worried about scratching your strut towers when moving the caster/camber plates. at least I could make sure the specs came out perfect for you though jeff.

 

Jeff go to lakes automotive, yeh i know there moper guys but he did a hell of a job on my z, there located just north of utica rd. and old van dyke, the street is about .25 mile north of the intersection i think the street is industrial st. talk to gary and tell him i set you. later scott.

 

thanks guys.

scott i'll check them out and see what they say. chris if i can't find something close i'll give you a call!

 

Let us know who does it. I'll be looking for an alignment myself, after some suspension upgrades.

 

Are you talking about Jakes auto, if so they did my car. they did a very nice job on my car.

 

one of the techs at work will do alignments to your spec, on the side. He's got cars to algin that shouldn't ever have come close. Let me know, he'll probly do it for ~$20-$30

Yeh thats jakes automotive sorry i need to speel check more often. hey jeff they set my bump steer and scaled all four corners so i have the weight on each wheel and he set my front coilovers for traction and ride height.

 

alright, hopefully the car will be ready to move tomorrow and i can look into it all.

if any of you have numbers i would appreciate it! thanks again guys.

 

Well if you'd ask me I'd say that Chris (IROCSS85) does a really good alignment, he did my last camaro and although its a dealership (like $50 or so) he spent a lot of time and got mine perfect, I don't trust anyone else to get it that perfect except maybe my brother. In a week or so after I change out every suspension bushing to polyurethane on my vette and put new shocks and suspension I'm taking the vette over to Chris to do a four wheel alignment, I'm sure he'll get it perfect for me, I saw my camaro on the alignment rack myself last time and I had the printout to show the alignment. The only trade off is I guess I'll have to let Chris rag on the vette a little after all the suspension is done (hope you leave me some rubber left on the tires Chris!).

 

I'll try john.

 

I think you are looking for Slim's Hot Rod Shop. I think it is at 10 1/2 and Gratiot. They align cars by hand on a giant concrete jig from the 50s.

I took my car there when I lowered it. They did a great job

 

i think your right jay. thanks!

chris, when is a good time to call you?
