discount tires in el monte does a lot of work with lowered cars/aftermarket wheels..

 

[YellowIS5spd]

Thanks. I will check those places out.

I don't trust discount tires all that much. I'm sure they didn't do an alignment job for me once (no printout) because my BMW's Tires were all wearing out funny in the front.

I was checking out the align job and saw that the ecentric oval washer on the toe adjustment was popped out of the subframe lip. and tighten to that it almost flaten it . I wrench the [email protected] toe adjuster myself and got the toe straighten out myself.

It drive straighter. I'm sure it isn't in proper spec. but better than before. I'm sure I can hang for a week before going to another shop.

just curious but where did you go so we don't ever end up going there..

Firestone service center in Arcadia.

They did a good job last time but when I request to dial out some rear camber the guy screwed up the ecentric bolt adjustment.

Like what juniorsdad said. Darin is the real deal. Torrance Acura goes to him for suspension advice. He is that good. I went to him for my sway bar install and alignment (for autox). Flawless job. He'll do corner balancing as well (if you are a hardcore autoxer or track racer. If you do end up going to him, plan at least 2 weeks ahead. He is very busy. Cash only.

Another reco for Darin/West End...

He fine tuned my coilovers, corner balanced my ride and did an alignment...he IS the real deal. People take their porsche's to him to have him fine tune the suspension before race day...no joke mang.

Hey juniorsdad and speedtrap, did you he use the three-part analogy on you guys too?: old grandma, spirited driver, or full out race. Which one did you guys pick? I chose spirited driver.

 

[speedtrap]

Spirited driver with mild autoxing & track, i.e. 1/16" toe-out (front), 0 toe (rear); -.5 degree camber (front and rear). Still within factory specs.

 

[juniorsdad]

when he did my spring/shox install, he didn't ask....... (i wasn't there)
so i guess 'old grandma" :lol:

Darin at West End put in my sportivo kit. He even fine-tuned it with me in the driver's seat. Recomended by Steve of Carson Toyota as well.
