I was referred to custom alignment in mountain view. They do alignments and corner balancing.

"Do a search" is more than something you do, it's a philosophy. That means trying to help yourself with whatever tools are available--including picking up a phone and asking a company how much their services are. IZoomZoomI gave you a name; how hard is it to call them yourself to get current information rather than ask people to provide numbers that may be out of date?

I got my alignment done at sears for 69.99 the other day. Car is lowered on tanabe gf's and they had no problems, dont know how much lower your car is then that. Couldn't you just raise it for the alignment/

Some places let you do unlimited alignments for a year I think. That might be the way to go?

What Sears? Also did they do the alignment based on your settings? Did they let you sit in the car as a ballast when being aligned?

I need to do this next and $69.99 is great... I am tired of places asking ~ $150.00 for it.

Thanks
Carlos

Hello all, this is my first post on the Regional board.
I've had good luck with Roger Krauss Racing in Castro Valley, with my previous car at least. Not as cheap as the chains, but they are in the performance business, so you know they will get it right. I plan on taking my new '8 out there soon, in time for the AutoX season.
