Default Good alignment shop

Looking for a shop to align a 99 z28 but the whole suspension is not stock, so looking for someone who is pretty good, but close to 92055(Oceanside, CA) because the car is eating tires up the way it currently sits.

Alignment Plus in San Marcos (760) 471-2233. Tell them Jeremy sent you. The owner is a good friend of mine, and a GTO owner. They do great work at a fair price.

How much do you charge for alignments?? How do you do them?? Are they custom to the car or factory specs?? My car is lowered so it needs to be different than factory specs...Thanks bro...

I don't exactly own a alignment machine but my work charges $39.00 for a two wheel alignment. As for a lowered car, you can still do the stock specs.

But who do you take your car to if you dont want the factory specs or dont know what you want? I would say road racers would have their car set up differently that circle track guys which would be different from Daily driver set ups.

You can customize it, The program tells you where you need to be for factory specs but you can disreguard that and customize.

Someone posted a link last year for that tool and it was $35.

I wish there were some instructions for doing an alignment myself at home.
