I got my Tein Flex w/edfc installed at Alvin Automotive and it went well. These guys are real pros and they work a lot with Reg Reimer's shop as well.

If any of you guys need an alignment, this place has one of the best alignment machines in town, using ifrared(laser) technology. The cost is $85 I think but competitive rates with everywhere else I am guessing.




**Oh, they are crazy busy so book in advance of a week or more.**

 

I've been looking for a good place to have a UK-spec alignment done on my car... I might have to make the trip down to see them

 

Just have the UK specs in case they don't have it in their database and they can do it. The guys there are really precise and take their time so you'll have the settings you want.

 

i never knew about alvin!! i wish i did... i went to fountain tire... only place i can find that can accomdate my low car....
they sucked!
"your car is low we are going to charge u an extra $100"
even though last time they did it for the regular price

 

My car is pretty low now, and they have built these ramps for really low cars. Next time then.

 

fountain tire is good because there is no ramp... its just a complete drive on on.. flat to the ground

 

Just took a rip at 150kms/hr out pass COP to Old Banff coach road and with smooth road the car feels perfect, tracks straight, no vibration, stiffer lower ride, just perfect. Alignment is your friend!

 

Ugh, I wish I could say the same... took my car in to Winnipeg Honda yesterday for an alignment. My 2nd freebie because they didn't remove the suspension spacers at PDI. Now my steering wheel is a few degrees off centre while driving straight. Now I have to take a performance driving school and my first auto-x event with a bad alignment. Grrr...

 

Honda Red Deer mis-aligned my steering wheel, too. Seems like a really common mistake for whatever reason

 

Also, watch out for that "free play" in the steering wheel if they ever have to disconnect that the steering linkage in some way usually in clutch replacements.
