Default Alignment shops

Hey guys,

This weekend I'm installing basically everything in my sig and will require an alignment after I'm done. Does anyone know of a shop that will do alignment's that are not stock? I was going to take it to the stealership or something but I don't think they'll perform an alignment that isn't stock specs? I'm looking for something in the Kitchener - Waterloo area.

Also, are any of these shops "lifetime" alignment shops, where you can go back anytime you want to change alignment once you pay the first time.

Thanks.

I'm interested too. Sadly there is minimal traffic here in the Canadian section. My suggestion is contacting champion motors - if they don't do it - they will know who to go to.

Mantas Racing is the first one that comes to mind. They are in Oakville, I can't remember the name of the shop in Burlington that did mine, they are off Harvester just west of Walkers on the north side. I also remember someone talking about a shop that does competition set ups that was on Hwy 6. I know that doesn't help much. You could also contact Joe Langel, he has the Miencke shops in London.

Just looked at what you are going to install. I would have to say Manta's racing would be your best bet. They won't be cheap but they are a top notch chassis shop.

I found a place in KW that does them. I'm not getting a track set up, just something a little more aggressive than stock, so I think they'll be sufficient. Thanks anyways guys.

i work at lowdown hotrods in cambridge and all of our alignments are done at autoclinic on highway 6 at flamborough, only 25-35 mins from k-w area, the owner mike wagg is a sportsman racer and musclecar guy (beautiful 71 cuda!) and knows how to treat a high end car, you would not be disappointed there.
