EuroTire in Fairfield. They installed my Tein SS, corner weighed them, set up the ride height AND aligned it. I've been dealing with these guys for years now and they're very good.

EuroTire in Fairfield only align vehicles to manufactures specs and also they specialize in European vehicles. Not to say they don't know how to do and alignment, there speciality is european vehicles. I've dealt with them with my BMW.

Is your car stock........if so any body can do a wheel alignment. As I stated before.........you have to do aftermarket specs on vehicle that's lowered.

You need to talk to Chris & Bill Bloomfield about their capabilities at EureTire. I know for a fact that they corner weigh AND align RACE cars there. They don't ONLY align cars to manufacturer's specs. Although they do a lot of European cars, they also do Japanese, American and probably anything that has 4 wheels. They also install springs, shocks and pretty much whatever you bring in for a suspension. They are VERY knowledgeable and professional.

After you have any car lowered, the TOE needs to be set to factory specs. The CAMBER will be more negative than stock but that can't be corrected without installing camber plates. The "slight" camber change will not cause too much of a tire wear problem as the TOE has much more of an effect. They're many threads concerning the alignment topic.

Dude.......this must be your first car that you have lowered........of course I know about corner weights and toe-ins, I know for a fact that several customers that had wheel alignments work on there cars.......and were not happy with there work. Personally it sounds like you're riding there jock strap a little to much there.

I guess you're right, I must be a newbee with these car things - I didn't realize that it showed that much. I wasn't trying to be a smartass but just wanted to clarify your comments to Desper and any other readers to this thread. The alignment info was for Desper in case he didn't know about them but exactly what does "aftermarket specs" mean? I'd sure like learn some more car stuff.
