Don't Take Our Word for It Again

It's great when we're able to help out customers with their performance needs. And sometimes it's as simple as a good alignment. The devil is in the details, or so they say, and doing a proper alignment is all about the details. How accurately you measure the base line, and how close to the specifications you're aiming for you get are key details.

We work with our customers to tweak the alignment to a set-up that is best for the car and for the way it is driven. But don't take our word for it, this is what one of our customers posted on the Michigan EVO messageboard:

Eric (the alignment specialist) made sure to talk to me for about 15 minutes to learn exactly what I was looking for. I was able to observe every tweak Eric made. He measured toe and camber to the millimeter rather than inches like most shops do. The biggest surprise came when they told me how much the cost was. He worked on my car for several hours and only charged my $120 for the whole job. He then asked me to come back after driving around for a week so he could check everything over again.

The end results were amazing. My car handles unbelievable. It is for sure the best handling car I have ever driven, even better than my e36 M3 was and way better than the STI was. My camber plates are symmetrical so I set up the street setting to have a little toe in and 0 camber. I set up the track setting with -3 degrees of camber and a fair amount of toe out. I settled for -1.5 degrees camber out back with a little toe in. The Bottom line is that I am very picky about who works on my car. Eric and Horst did an excellent job, are very cool guys and I’d definitely recommend them to any of you if you need a good place to help you with suspension set up.
