Hhaha yeah next friday I have to get in work at 6am and get out at 2pm to make 8 hrs
anyone know the price on a corner balance/alignment?
Yeah I just spent 80 bucks on alignment from my mechanics, 70 bucks for them to raise my car by 1inch for practical driving. However I think they raised the rear a little to high which i think attributes to the oversteer when i steer left even only at 80mph. I bought the car with Megan coilovers already on it. It was slammed and drove really well.
So I'mma ask Darin to lower the car a little more esp in the rear, realign my car for handling purpose ( I don't care about tread wear), and balance the corner.
Screw driving practicality. haha

Ok so I came back from West End Alignment last night and here is my review.
First of all, Darin is very knowledgeable. Not only he's crafty at what he does, he's also a super chill dude. I was sitting in my car for 3 hrs during the alignment and corner balancing and he made sure that I was comfortable with water and what not. He was very friendly and explained every little detail about everything he does to my car. #1 customer service!
FYI, I did the cornering balancing because I have coil overs. You don't need it if you only have springs. The reason why you need to do corner balancing because when people install coilovers, weight distribution was never accounted for.
SOooo my car was about 200 lbs off due to poor coilover installation and it was alot off. Darin said I'm getting my money worth for sure. I forgot some of what he explained what he did but he adjusted the springs revolutions to make the weight distribution perfect.. I hope what I just said make sense haha. He put my car on the scale back and forth 2 times and it was perfect.
Here is the important part. It drives perfect! I couldn't believe it! I didn't ask Darin for the alignment spec cuz if i need it done again I'd go back to him.
I had a problem of unstable driving in highspeed 80mph o the free way and that is completely eliminated. At first I thought it was my front strakes but I was wrong. It handles very well!
I would definitely recommend Darin to anyone! Sport cars only though. He said on the phone that it'd be 250 but he only charged me $220.
Great job by a great guy!
