Hello people,

So I lowered my car recently on some ground control coilovers and its about time to align it back to the proper position. Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations on a shop to goto? I took my last car to Les Schwab in Utah to get an alignment and they totalled it on a "test drive". Needless to say im a bit weary about where I will be taking this one. I would prefer somewhere in the Tempe area (or nearby) but its not mandatory.

Any help you guys can give would be excellent.

You can always take it out to Earnhardt and let Cesar do it for you. MAke sure you tell them it is lowered - they may elect to refer you somewhere else.

Love the Les Schwab story - I took my 99 GSR to the Midas in Tempe (on Broadway) and they creased both front fenders by laying their fat ass across them.

 

You will need the SPC#67220 ball joint kit for the rear, cheapest price was $62.95X2 at AZ Jobbers. I highly reccommend Jacks Wheel alignment on 28 st & Thomas, for the install and alignment. btw you didn't mention what size wheels you are running.

 

18x8 +50 and 18x9.5 +55 BBS LM. Tires are 225s and 255s

 

Not necessarily, according to some...

...but I guess it depends on how low you went and the specs you want.

 

most of the 240sx guys go to network alignment.. they will adjust to whatever you want..

 

Scott at Network Alignment on Cave Creek has always done mine (every car I've had) and been cool about everything. The guy is kinda weird though so have the specs you want up front and tell them to give you a printout. They are ok with lowered cars (getting on the lift). I would have gone to Cesar but the price was 2x.

 

Anyone foresee any issues with running UK specs with the wheel/tire sizes posted above?

 

^Euro alignment will only help.

 

I have no doubt that Cesar will do the best job of anyone. It is pricey, though. $170 for Euro Spec, and that was the 'Special Club Discount'...
