Good Alignment Shop in the South Bay

I live in San Jose, does anyone know of a good place to get an alignment. I'm sure the place Z Car Garage uses is good, but I thought that $225 for an alignment was high. Would Firestone who gives a lifetime alignment know enough to do a good job on dropped G?

My plan is to install the Eibach Prokit, my questions are 1) would I need to install a camber kit and 2) after the springs installation what determines what the correct specs are for an alignment.....another words are they trying to achieve as close to stock specs as possible?

Any help would be much appreciated,
Mark

actually try Rob...or Custom Aligment in Mt. View-$240...is a good second choice as both have proven track records with customized suspension set ups.

Thanks for the replies guys but what should I expect to pay for an alignment. I have an 03 Nissan Atima that came stock with 16" rims, I installed 18" with 245/45/18 on all 4 corners and the Eibach Prokit springs. I had an alignment done at Just Tires and they did an excellent job. I got even wear and 30K+. I paid less than $100 for the alignment.

I know Rob does an excellent job and his reputation couldn't be better, but he sends out all the alignments to another shop. I'm sure they are also excellent, otherwise Rob wouldn't use them but I was hoping to find a shop that was more reasonable.

Thanks again for the info, if anyone else uses a shop that does a good job, please let me know.

i got the firestone lifetime alignment $160 bucks. used it 3 times already because i've been adjusting the coilovers and such. I will have to go again for the 4th time because I'll be putting in my front A-arms soon. That $160 already paid off for me. The firestone on kifer and lawrence has the lazer machine.

P Diddy,

I take it you are happy with the results that you got from Advanced Automotive and the price for the alignment for the G was $80? Is your G suspension stock or has it been dropped?

Thanks for the link, excellent info

Mark
