Default Chassis setup shop???

I'm looking for a local shop that does corner weighting, bump steer adjusting with gauge, track alignment, etc. etc.

Thanks
Eric

If you've got big bucks and plenty of time, one of the best places around is Cars & Concepts in Tampa. But, it won't be cheap, and they're usually pretty backlogged.

What kind of car are we talking about? And what are you looking to do with it?

+1 for Cars and Concepts. Thomas is an awesome guy. My first time to the shop with my E36 M3 he treated me like he knew me forever, gave me a tour of the shop. They are stand up guys.

What I need done is a lot of work as far as time is concerned, and I understand and don’t mind that it wont be cheap. If it were too cheap I’d be concerned that what I asked for wasn’t done correctly.

Thanks again

Just buy a set of scales. you will be much happier in the end.
You can always show up early and pay to borrow somones at the track.
You wont have to ask long before somone throws out a price.
The most basic scales work close to the most advanced. If you know
how to do the math you dont have to have all the functions.
If your swapping springs and changing alot for different tracks it would
cost alot to bring it to somone else constantly.

You worry about corner balancing a solid rear axle car? I'm learning all the time.
