wheels allignment
 
ok guys, my RX8 is low, and i went to sears RT22 and pepboys RT22, they rejected my car. they said it was too low that they can't get my to into the ramp. Pepboys said that they can't put the equipment on my wheels because of the bumber. it will touch the front bumper when they turn the wheels. now, since i change the wheels and low profile tires, i think it looks lower. can anybody helps me where i can allign my low car..?? get looww low low..jahahhahah..that's what happen when you have a low car,,,,...peace

if youre in NJ i can do it at wayne mazda, we managed to do Kel's car, altho we had to remove the front bumper to get it on the alignment rack, but that normally takes 2 seconds to remove and install the bumper.

also we used a full laser alignment so we dont have anything that will be hitting your car. plus laser is more accurate anywho.

kevin,
can you do that? how much will it cost me? please pm me, and the address.. i might go there on friday morning if its possible...but remember, my car is low, so i think we have to take the bumper off in oder to get to the ramp. please let me know, i really need this...

also guys, i wanna ask this question, since i get this wheels, everytime i break from high speed, the car shakes, and shift little bit to the left. can anybody tell me why this happens? should i rebalance the tires?

I think I might need a wheel alignment too. cuz if I put my steerling wheel to *straight* the car actually pulls to the right a little bit.

It happens before & after the coil over install, so I doubt it was the coilover that messed the alignment up.

everytime you install a new shock, spring, coilsover, or what ever, you need a new allignment.

your steering wheel could be off center.

hey steve sorry for the lack of response, sorta lost track of this topic.

Yea just bring it down and specifically request "Only Kevin Works on it"

If anything I'll have to pull the front bumper off, but like I said its easy and noe xtra charge since youre on the forum.

waynemazda.com is the website address and all info is there.

Hope to see ya down there sometime so we can fix your alignment issues.

kevin.

I know, but the shop who installed my coilovers told me to drive around first, if everything works, then leave it.

but guess I might need one

I dunno, maybe. I need to have it check.

GAMBEAN 05-08-2008 09:33 PM

I know someone that can do alignments over my way. my 8 is low with ms front bumper. I had him align my 8 with my specs. his boss will have you sign a disclaimer for custom alignment set ups.

I can also provide my 2x10"s to drive on the machine. ;) pm me if your interested.

halimsteven 05-09-2008 02:04 AM
