I need to find a good shop to do an alignment on my G35. I was thinking about giving Les Schwab a shot. Bad idea??? Axium Motorsports apparently cannot do them due to broken equipment...

 

I got mine done at les schwab, they did a good job

 

Did they install camber kits etc? What all did they do and what kind of drop do you got.

 

Go to Les Schawb in Tacoma, WA on 7424 Pacific Avenue!
Get with Andy, store manager and mention that John with the Black G Coupe recommended you. I just bought 2 sets of wheels for my G and IS, and got all my alignment done there. Service is exceptional, I would have never excepted that kind of service and knowledge, attention to details from a chain store. John is the mechanic you want working on your car. He has knowledge and passion for cars. They also did my suspension on the G and aligned it.

 

I ended up going to Les Schwab in Fife and they also did a good job. Rears were back in OEM spec, alas a little neg still. Fronts need a kit, which I am getting soon.

 

Whick springs did you use? H&R? I got everything back to factory setting, except the camber. -2.0 all the way around front and rear.

 

RS*R Down 350Z springs. 1.1" drop F&R. Nice spring rates too.

 

How much do they charge? I'm gonna need one after I install my liftkit.

 

about 80 bones

 

Damn, that's expensive!

 

Thats a normal price for an alignment from what I remember... They also took a nail out of my tire at the same time too, but I think that was free.

 

I usually go to Firestone in Lakewood, Ask for Dan tell him Sam with the G35 sent you, they have lifetime alignment for $169.99 so you can align at any firestone in the country as long as that car is still running no matter who owns it

 

For camber kits go to axiom motorsports, they will install them, then after they install go to firestone or les schwab to have them adjust and align.

I bought the eibach rear camber kit and when they adjusted my toe went craaazy! so i took it back so they can re adjust it so i can have negative camber again until i buy a toe adjuster kit.

 

damn...i just came back from the firestone on rainier ave, right by franklin highschool, and these f*cks didnt know what the hell they were doing! first off, they "tried" to put my alignment back into specs but at first they thought the car was a q45! then i came back to get it fixed n the tech swore up and down the camber arm isnt a camber arm! he thought it adjusted the freakin toe! i showed him the toe bolt and he said yea it is but it only helped out w the toe. i had him adjust it in front of me while he kept talking sh*t and when the camber started getting adjusted he shut the f*ck up...after 4 hours of waiting my alignment is still outta spec...by the way im dropped on df210's and have the spc camber n toe kit...still -3.1 off in the rear...good news is the toe is back to normal, i didnt want to wait there anymore so i took what i got n left...never again will i go there!
sorry just had to vent...

 

PM rosscoe on my350z.com he works at the elliott tire in mt. vernon and drives a Z so he knows how to adjust the camber arms etc. He also allows you to sit in the car to ballast it correctly, and you can tell him exactly what values you want if you have adjustable alignment components. My rear alignment is -1.5 with 0.05 toe in. Perfect IMO
