Draco-REX Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Do we have an alignment hookup here at CR? I'm tired of paying $400/hr ($99-$120 for 15min of work) to have someone adjust my toe, but unfortunately, I need to get it checked/aligned often. Camber plates don't need to be adjusted, I don't need corner weighting or ride height done. All of the adjustment is done with stock hardware. But whenever I go to get an alignment, I end up having to pay the "performance alignment" fee because I want 0 degrees toe and the manufacturer calls for something else. This is just way too expensive now. The WRX has to be checked/aligned a couple times a summer because of the beating it takes, though I don't drive it as much so I don't do it after every race. But I get it checked again for my trips to MA every Xmas. And this doesn't count the alignments needed after suspension work, which I'll be doing a lot of this year. The STI needs to be checked after every AutoX since I've already proven at my last alignment that I can generate enough side loads to turn the concentric bolts in the rear (0.58 and 0.26 toe-in when it was checked!) I'd like to set up a string box, but I don't have the room to set it up and still jack the car up and down for adjustments. So can anyone help me out? Either with a good deal, or just let me use your alignment rack? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I just get a 1-3 year alignment program at NTB and they always seem to do it to what ever specs i want done. Ive never had them complain about me coming back to often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never had them complain about me coming back to often. I'll ask them about that. I was just amazed when I actually sat down and realized that I'd be spending close to $1000 on alignments this year between the two cars.

Draco-REX Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 derek and dave. not sure how custom they get tho...are you looking at just getting toe set, or are you looking to have caster/camber and all that done on all 4 wheels? Just toe, that's all. Camber is easy on both cars, caster isn't adjustable, and I can't corner weight since I use struts (not that I really need to cornerweight).

AudiOn19s Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Talk to Derek (NTB). They used to offer a package of unlimited allignments for like 2-3 years for very reasonable money....even if you need camber adjustments. I purchased it for botht he M3 and the 996 and it's more than paid for itself. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 indeed I had a kid come in once in a wrx and told me he wanted 2.5- camber on the back with 0 toe and 3.5- in the front with 25 degrees of toe.. i said 25 degrees or .25? he says yes 25 degrees.....sometimes it just never ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
