Alignment near Philly, PA: any suggestions?

Love the shop I used to go to when I had my M3 (Bimmerworks). Only source of hesitation is that they are not RX-8 specialists.

Had an alignment done at Porsche of the Main Line once. They did an awesome job (not surprising as they know how to set up some very serious cars). Expensive, though.

Another option is NTB for a 3-year alignment. I love this idea and would use the crap out of it, but I trust NTB the least.

The Mazda dealership near me... I like them and they're SUPER close, but let's just say I get the impression that my car is the only S2 RX-8 that many of them have ever seen. lol

There's another good dealership in Turnersville recommended by gwilliams6. They seem good, though a bit far (bridge tolls annoy me for some reason).

Any other suggestions? I'd much prefer someone who knows RX-8s and knows how to set up suspensions.

Check out RT Tuning... a little hike, but they do good suspension and alignment work, among other things.

Their lead alignment guy was big into FCs.

I'm so glad I stopped by today and saw this thread, yay! My poor car, with 116,000 miles, is in serious need of an alignment, and wheels. The last two winters on all the potholes up here even left me with bent wheels (my winter wheels.) I was told it's 200 bucks EACH to straighten, so I'll be buying new ones. It would help if they put some street lights up around here so you can see the giant pothole BEFORE you're knee-deep in it!

Thanks Shelldude -- how you been?? :-)
