Default Alignment Shops Jacksonville

Need a good alignment shop within the next month in Jacksonville area. Have fully adjustable front suspension. So it will need to be one that can mess with it and get it within specs. Anyone have any experience?

+1 for Sun Tire... at least the one on Atlantic in Regency. I forgot the managers name, but he's an older guy with a white mustache. He's always done me a solid when going in there!

I have PA racing k-member and UMI adjustable control arms. So they need to know what to do to get the control arms in spec. I have used the same place for tires and alignments for years but i don't know that they can do this job 100%.

The only speed show around is EFI and they are $$$$! I'd put a new blade on that saw and mark out were you're going to cut, before you go

if you have any wrenching skills d.i.y. you can use tape and a level.
tape a line beside and in front of the tire and set your camber and toe with the tape and level. just make sureyou tape straight lines. you can get it close enuff it wont ruin your tires to get you to an alignment shop its what i did with my qa1 coilovers

I have someone thats going to tow it for me cause he runs a tow truck(no since in taking a chance or double working myself). And also found where I will be taking it. He said he's done the alignments on the adustable suspenion in the front before a few times. I'm confident in him.
