Default Jacksonville Shops

Hey guys, I tenetively have a set of coilovers on the way and I'm looking for a shop to install them. I just moved to Jax, I've heard that Stage6 and Velocity Trends are good shops, but I don't know if they have the ability to corner balance or not ... if not, are there any good shops around that can do a corner balance?

I came from Tallahassee and there we have a shop that only does alignments, they are amazing and I might take the car there if I need to, but I would much rather find a good place in Jax. Thanks!

Thanks for the offer man, that's really cool of you.

Actually I can't get ahold of the guy I'm supposed to be buying the coilovers from, so if this doesn't go through I'll probably stay @ stock ride height ... although I am getting 18s, so I might need a drop ... decisions, decisions ....

There is also TK Performance off of Atlantic Blvd that would be a good place to get your car aligned when lowered. They are used to aligning lowered cars.

You won't need to corner balance or get an alignment immediately. You need to let the springs settle (unless the coilovers are used and haven't been off the car for long). It will take a couple hundred miles of mixed driving roads before the springs settle.

BTW...check to make sure Dwight is willing to corner balance. They do have scales that they will rent out, but may not be willing to corner balance.
