Your car deserves better than a chain tire shop where some putz making $10/hour cranks the camber as far as it will go and calls it a day.

My advice: Let it settle for a week and troll local BMW, Porsche and Miata boards and find out where they go to get alignments.

I paid $150 at a Porsche/BWM shop. You know you're in the right place when the owner has a 996 Turbo for a DD and they roll a Cayman S race car off the rack in order to slum it with your G

 

I've been to a few so called "performance shops" for an alignment in the past and let me just say I've been less than impressed. Besides, alignments are pretty cut and dry. All you need is a good alignment machine (which most chains have) and a tech who listens to what camber/toe settings you want. With that said though, I would love to find a good performance shop near me to do it but location is a huge factor and most good shops are at least 25 mins away from where I live.

 

Fire stone does offer unlimited alignment i think for 150 bucks or something like that. I got that and i have to pick and choose which fire stones i can go to because some of their lifts. Also i watch them very closely when they do the alignment just incase they decide to get lazy. Most of them are alight because i tell them to get the toe back in to spec and i have custom camber i like to run, but if i worked at these alignment shops and you told me to adjust the camber arms of a slammed car i d sigh a little too lol

 

Hi! can anyone help me with my motordyne installation lol im kinda stumped right now and the installation instructions arent helping

 

All cleaned up.

 

Mine did, there is a specific tech that most folks around here try to use. I think they added it when they saw what he was bringing in. Fortunately I met him before I needed an alignment.

 

Are you planning on getting corner balanced?

 

Hadn't planned on it but now you get me thinking. However, it turns out I'm too low in the front because I can't even clear speed bumps at work so looks like I need to go a bit higher. Sucks.

 

What's your fender height at?

 

25 and 1/4th in the front.

 

I was scraping a lot as well. My poor exhaust system too a heck of a beating. The are still ways I can't go to get to work and certain areas in my neighborhood.

 

I m sitting around 26" all around but then again I m driving an X and I can get around to most places with out any problems another 1/2" lower I could be in trouble

 

Yep, I found that out the hard way I'm afraid. Although the roads here in Memphis are awful the speedbumps and speedbumps are the worst. Way too high IMO.

 

At a crazy angle, I can make a right-hand turn out of my driveway, and have a 90% success rate without scraping. However, at similar angles, my left-hand turns are about 50:50 scrape/no-scrape. I don't know exactly what is hitting, but it's so very light that I try not to let it bother me.

So I'm just crossing my fingers that the FI catback installs with similar or better clearance. But I suspect I might be limiting myself to having only one viable way to leave my house, and that's by making a right-hand turn... regardless of the destination.

Oh well.

Which reminds me... it's been 5 weeks since I ordered that catback. Tick tock

 

They must be HORRIBLE for you to mention them twice
