Hi, can anyone recommend a place to get an alignment in or around redwood city? My car is stock, just want to get the camber set to max negative but carlsen will only do stock settings-

tried a search but 'alignment', 'where to get alignment' doesn't turn up much

 

If you can make the trip across the bay hit up Roger Kraus

Best alignments and very nice people.

 

why the hell would want you want to try to get max neg camber on a stock setup? Not trying to be an *** but I don't see the point. Besides you don't really get any adjustablity from stock.

Umm but hey firestone has life time free alignments!

 

auto innovations, in milpitas

 

yeah i know there isn't much adjustability stock, and definitely don't know much about this stuff- searching for 'stock sti alignment' usually comes up with 'can't adjust much, max out negative camber, 0 toe all around' so that's what I asked if they could do over the phone with the dealership-

I want to do the odd track day/auto-x here and there and wouldn't mind a bit of extra negative camber as from what I can tell from factory it's set to near 0 deg, and you can get the front to -1?


thanks for the tip about roger kraus, i might try there if i can't find somewhere around here, would like to ideally get it done over lunch at work-

 

+1!

 

kraus is good, but i think thats a bit overkill for a car with only stock parts

 

Actually, the stock settings suck real bad even for remotely spirited driving. I don't by any means drive my car hard but I always see camber wear on the outer edge w/ the stock alignment specs. It's pretty bad. W/ max negative camber in the front, wear seems more even. Also, it's toe setting that really messes up daily driving tire wear. And lastly, you can get up to about -1 degree in the fronts w/ the stock STi. I don't remember what the stock specs were but it's something like 0 or +. It's been pretty discussed over at other forums. I'm getting an alignment soon and definitely will be asking for max negative camber.

 

Yeah but they also break your camber bolts and act like its okay in the process.

 

custom alignment

 

thats where i went

 

+1 been there multiple times with different cars

 

AI does very well. Firestone; Bleh. Ask onemanarmy...

 

Is there a good place near SF? I actually got my alignment at AI but SF -> SJ for an alignment was a bit much. Mach III does alignments but it's 100 dollars, kinda really pricey vs 60 at AI.

 

that sucks
