sounds good i think i gotta do fluids?? i have a 2003 with 41,000 Km on it?

i got oem brake pads from the net for pretty cheap, they're just slightly squeaking now, but think it's still ok

 

Ok, I got my car back this afternoon from Simone Performance Imports and I found out a few things about the alignment setup. It is new - as guessed, and is a state of the art machine.

It's a Hunter DSP 400 and can do performance setups. It is a 3D laser, and yes, they can do lowered vehicles - after all, they just did mine, and my car is lowered. Vic did mention that he hasn't tried it on a zero clearance race car - but it will handle just about everything.

If you want to do a full custom racing setup, it runs around $600 - but I doubt many would want or need that - except maybe Shane (Balzz).

Vic said that he would do G35 Driver members alignments for $110.95 - which is a savings of $20 over the regular price.

For what it's worth, they did a great job on my brakes and alignment, and on the other stuff they did for me. They were very professional, great to deal with, and really know their stuff.

I will be going back for a few things (like a camber kit), and will be taking my wife's FX35 there as well.

It's worth the drive to Newmarket (at least for that).

 

Speaking of alignments, is there any good places closer to Kitchener? I was thinking of going to Guelph Infinti, but I'm not sure about different alignment machines and what to look for.

Is it still worth the drive to Newmarket for the alignment?

 

Hey Mikester, I assume that you lowered your car, hence the need for a camber kit. Did you go with coils or just springs and shocks? and what camber kit do you plan on using?

 

When my car was in at Queensway for the bumper etc. there were a few Jag's there getting alignments. I was told by the owner that they do lots of them because they are tricky and the dealerships/garages send them over because they have the equipment and expertise to do them right.
BTW he did a 4 wheel alignment on my G before returning it to me. I had no issuses before or after the alignment. So far I'm happy with everything they did to fix my G.

 

Good to hear Sam. I didn't know "you" even had any "issues".

 

just gave a ring to simone, they do sound like great guys

 

If you're getting your brakes done, let me know the details as I'm going to be due soon and would certainly make the 1 hour journey if they're good and reasonably priced.

 

well i bought my own rotors and pads, so just getting them installed but they quoted me quite reasonable prices for installation compared to other places

 

I'm from Mississauga and still trek out to Simone Performance. Vic is the man. You get dealer service and knowledge at a fraction of the price. The money I save more then pays for the gas and a case of beers for Vic and his crew

 

i've heard alot of people talk abotu simone performance, so do u guys book weeks in advance for your work to get done or what? iam only ever back on weekends in tdot...probably really hard to get a time slot eh?

Send an e-mail to Vic or his wife Cristine.

Shouldn't be an issue for Saturdays unless he is going racing.

 

They close at 12 on saturday, but knowing vic, he stays til 5pm-7pm sometimes to help out the customers. I know, I held him up

 

PM me.... i just got my new rotors and pads installed recently.... and i'm happy with it..... its my friend
