Default random questions

just dropped the car on koni's + swift spec r springs today, where do you guys recommend getting the alignment at? also, is there a preferred spec? i hear a lot of, "UK" spec being thrown around but don't quite understand how it is better than stock.

also, which spacers do you guys recommend? i have stock fenders and ap2v1 wheels.

thanks!

I got my alignment done at Dales. No complaints! I'm very happy with their work. A little far to drive, but I trust them and don't have to worry about them scraping the car so it's worth my peace of mind.

jpark and I both had poor experiences there last year. Misquoted jobs that went over original estimates without consent.

Hmm that sounds real shady... Anywhere else I should look into? Also, should I let them settle for a week before alignment? Or is a few days enough.

A few days are fine. Don't want to damage your tires.

I have taken my car to Advance Automotive in Richmond on No. 6 & Westminster. The owner is an older gentleman who used to own an S2000 himself. Nice guy.

Also, you may want to make an appointment today - regardless of where you choose. I find these alignment places are usually booked 1-2 weeks in advance.
