Just got back from gettin an alignment done on my R. Went to the Firestone on Magnolia and Talbert and had them set my toe 1/8 F and 0 R. They had no problems with my car even though I am running on Apex N1's ( I heard some places will not do the lifetime alignment on lowered cars) Theyre running a special for all of February, $109 for lifetime alignment.... $99 if you sign up for their credit card. Nice people!!!

Now, my question is- Is it alright for the camber to have that much variation between the left and right side? Im gonna be on the track this friday and was planning on finding the right ride height/suspension settings. Any tips on tuning my car with N1's would be great! Thanks!

Camber LF -1.88 RF -2.73
LR -1.80 RR -2.26

Toe LF .07 RF .06
LR .00 RR -.02

Ps- Im running Apex N1's with the JDM rear strut bar. 205/50/15 Falken Azenis on stock rims. Hope that helps!!

 

Judging by your post-alignment specs; your car is not evenly lowered.

Unless you kept the additional driver's weight in mind prior to adjusting the coilovers. Which means more weight on the Left side, and similarly, adding more negative camber on that side.

 

Mario is right.

That's a good price, I'm going to check it out tomorrow but I'm here in the Bay Area/Northern CA.

 

im also tempted to goto firestone for the lifetime alignment...but how frequently can you show up

 

Lifetime alignment still exist??? I went to wheel works and the manager told me the last known nor cal place that offered lifetime alignment went out of business because the company didnt really benefit from the idea. Damn.. I purchased a 6 month deal for alignment which cost $99.. stupid wheel works

 

You can go as often as you want, but they recommend every 6000 miles.

 

I got lifetime alignment for my car back in '98 or so from Tire Pros in San Dimas... it was about $120 or so, and since I got my tires from them too, I just have them check out my alignment whenever I get my tires rotated (every 5k miles)

 

discount tires also offers lifetime alignment (last price i remember was like120-130). just don't know about lowered cars though.

 

wow... really? lifetime fuckups of alignments? cool, where do i sign up?

 

Damn. I think the acura dealer charges close to that for a 1 time alignment.

 

i would get your car cornerweighted - the camber between FR and FL should be similar.

 

I'll be heading over there oen i get my car back from the bodyshop...

 

F*** Firestone. They would have to pay me to even consider letting them touch a car I own. I have never seen a bigger bunch of morons that work for a company than at Firestone. They also love to try and give you a big list of "repair" work that you should really have done to your car. Good luck to anyone that deals with them.

 

that true? maybe it's the ppl that the ATL firestone. i'm probably going to go by the weekend. lifetime . especially if i go thru tires like every 10 months...

 

This is one hell of a deal. Much better than spending $50 USD every spring

 

go to Johnson in torrance, west of 405 on torrance blvd...

they do 99% 911 and 934's for road race hardcore guys....they did mine, cmae out so perfect..plus they have pit rack, so your car can fit no matter how low it is..

i dont think we can get that deal here in northern cali. I went to a couple of firestones and they refused to work on my car because its too low.
