Since getting my SPL/KTS coilovers/spl tension rods/ cusco RUCA'sI'm having a hard time finding a shop around here that can align my car. The place I usually go to, now cant get my car up on their rack anymore. The place they suggested did do an alignment, but it cost $140.00, and it doesn't even seem like they changed anything. My car still pulls to the right, and the camber on my drivers side rear wheel looks way outta whack. I'm not going back to the place that charged me an arm & leg as their customer service is HORRIBLE. So Is there any way to at least adjust camber without having to take your car to a shop, or any decent shops near charlotte, nc that anyone knows about?Thanks,

-Neil

Maybe check in with a local Autocross chapter and see if there are any prefered shops around. I did that and found a shop about 30 minutes away, and the best part, the place builds production based race cars so they have suspension guru's on hand. Oh yeah, and the guy let me hang around and do all the adjustments with him... for 3 hours. Aligned (with markings for both my street and autox setup), weighed, and wheel wells modified, and all he charged me was $215 in labor.

I would gladly pay 200+ for a great alignment/corner weighting. The shop I went to that charged me the 140 didnt even give me a printout of any of my camber/toe readings. Weak... Anyways, i'll check with some autocross guys. Thanks!

oh, what shop did you go to? I head up to PA on occasion, and wouldnt mind dropping by if they can set my car up right.
