I am wandering where all the autocross folks go to get their car aligned and wheels balanced in CNJ/NNR. I live in Hunterdon County and was curious what places in New Jersey are best nearby. Preferably opinions from autocross and track/race folks in the state. Thanks in advance.

SJFperformance.com does majority of the alignment and corner balance for the local speed freaks.

About 45 miles from where I am SJF performance. Just a curious question. Have you ever rolled your fenders for new wheels? I am looking to upgrade to 17x9 wheels with 255/40 tires. Most likely need to roll fenders. I remember from when I got my car there was a guy who did it at his house in NJ/NY area, but curious where most go for that as well.

I just go to euro tire for alignment. I would love to go to SJF but too far for me. If your not lowered theres a shop in hohokus on RT.17.

Minitoyota use to roll fenders in NJ but he is out in PA now.
Sfactor doesnt roll the fenders I believe, he just cuts the extra lip if your good with that.

depending on offset and how low you want to go you might have to roll. also youll want camber to help clearance.

also SJF uses Corghi tire mounting machines

minitoyota (jeff) isn't doing car work at the moment. go to S~Factor (ray). he will roll/cut your fenders for you. he's out in pa now too, but not far from NJ.

SJF (steve) is worth the trip for an alignment.

I actually did more research. Finally getting new rims/tires for my car. Prepping for STR classification. I am going to go with 17x9 +60-63mm offset, since I know from experience these fit a lowered S2000 at ~ 12.5 inches or greater (length from center of wheel to fender). Only requires bending of the metal liner tabs on the front fenders. I think I can do this myself or talk with the referenced S factor guy.

ATM looking to get the new TRmotorsport C3 (can't decide between silver or black atm), unless I can find a used set or a used set of enkei PF01. My tires will be 255/40/17, since looking at options for brand.

I will look into SJF since they are about 1.1 hour drive away at speed limit
Hopefully prices are reasonable.

OoOo STR huh? welcome to the club. TRM are great since they do the job and are cost effective. 12.5 from center to fender is quite low youll def have to bend the tabs up and you might chew up the liner a bit.

What height do you run front and rear? I was reading 12.75 inch or 13 inch is normal.
