don't know if you can get them by this sunday, but tiredeals is an awesome place. I got my t1r for like 642 shipped and it came in 2 days earlier than expected!

If you find a place to do corner balance and alignment, let me know. I'm looking for a spot as well.

how do you order for them? what size tires did you order? i called autoinnovations in milipitas and they said they would do t1rs for $570 with mounting for 205/55/16 and 245/45/16

i think i'm just going to go to rennwerks to get it done because i dont know where to find a good place and any good place is just going to be expensive :\

rennwerks is good quality stuff. my friend got his porsche aligned there before tracking it.

youre getting BOTH an alignment AND corner balancing for $300? i would think corner balancing costs more than that...

[edit] s2kennmark, where do you get yours done?

me and my buddies own a CB scale....

yeah i would imagine it will cost more from shops coz its kinda hard to setup and if you are CBing for the first time, it's time consuming to distribute weights on 4 corners.

but then again with the $300 price, i say good price coz you can actually get alignment for less than what most shops charge and thats with a Hunter rack too. i get my alignment done really cheap, thats why ive been playing with different settings all the time.

im working on it... i have a lot of cars that want to do a CB day... but i prefer doing same cars in one day so that we dont have to re-position and re-level the scales for different wheelbase. i will let you guys know.... you will be surprised how balanced the s2000 is.
