Question Alignment Shops

Hey guys,

Im currently waiting for my SPC Camber Kits.
And I have these BC coilovers from Import Image hanging around 4 now.

Where is the good but cheap place to install these once I have everything.
I hear of Firestone w/ lifetime alignment but i think its only in the states.

Im located in the GTA by the way.

I would recommend Simone Performance out in Newmarket, they installed my suspension (Tokico d-specs and Eibach Prokit springs) with the SPC front and rear camber kit. They also do alignments as well.

+1 more....
After 2 previous tries elsewhere,
Simone was the only place to get my lowered Z4M aligned properly.
It was a day/night type of difference in the car.

They're the only shop I'll use now.

Any west-end places that could be recommended.

I am thinking of taking it to my local Infinti dealer (Oakville) to get it aligned.

Woodbridge alignment is really good and they are able to deal with lowered cars. I use to go there all the time and they did a great job on my lowered Jetta.

it might be a little pricey to do the install there i would only suggest having them do the alignment/camber set up.

That is very unfortunate. This would happen eventually - a shop gets good business via word of mouth, then starts to capatilize on their "perceived image" by charging what they want, and having folks pay excess for what is supposed to be exceptional work.

My advice - install them yourself. Learn, enjoy, save.
