Another place that I use is Cars and Concepts. $150 for my custom alignment.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I think they have been the standard go-to, and their ability's are proven, they just tend to have quite a booked schedule, 3-4 weeks at times. so the competition is a welcome thing In my opinion.

In the grand scheme the difference between a $75 tire shop alignment and a performance shop is worlds apart. I had a lifetime alignment from Firestone but they would keep lying to me and set the car back to stock specs. Like I couldn't tell the difference. and then fight me when I brought it back, just awful.

S and R Only charges $100 for a custom alignment and $300 for alignment with four wheel corner balancing. Proven to improve performance on and off the track. Can't beat their one year old state of the art alignment system.

They even do custom rear camber bolts on the G35s and 350Zs.

Just go check it out.

New high quality alignment equipment is great, but for custom alignments, it means NOTHING without a good tech behind it. Give me an experienced tech who understands performance alignment with a 20-year old *calibrated* rack over the latest greatest technology and some tech who doesn't understand how or why to adjust something outside of the "green" any day!

I know that both of the shops we're talking about have great techs, I'm just sayin'... it's not the equipment that's hard to find, it's the expertise. That's what makes these guys worth more than the average tire shop alignment.

Very true! The best way is to visit the shop, talk to the tech, and check with customers they have worked on.
