i lowered my car and now it pulls to the right, some people say to get a camber kit and others tell me just an alignment any opinions?.. i went to get an alignment and they told me because the the wheels are like this /---\ they cant align...anyone know any shops around the LA, gardena, torrance, hawthorne area were they can align it for me? thanks

Tyson

just tell them to fix the toe. thats your only problem. tell them you dont care about the camber.

ware

so no camber needed?

Tyson

no.

if its not at stock height, you dont want it to be "stock" camber. its fine where it is.

ware

i dont want it to be a stock camber? .. only problem is i do have the stock camber and its not at stock height.. really apreciate the help Tyson

Tyson

like everyone else who hasnt been paying attention to this forum... i say to you this:

CAMBER DOES NOT WEAR TIRES. TOE DOES.


toe, camber and ride height are dependent of each other. when ride height changes, toe and camber changes. but its only TOE that matters.

Thanks bro. really appreciate the help. going to go to the shop tomorow and tell them to fix the TOE

Tyson

just curious. where are you going in torrance?

johnson alignment is good i hear.

west end (darin) is the best, but 2 week appointment schedule.

i just take my s2000 to firestone in gardena. he doesnt do camber (which is adjustable from stock, and i adjust to tune the handling), but i can do that myself with a toe gauge and correct the change in toe with toe plates i own easy enough. its still worth the lifetime alignment because to get the front pointed in the same direction as the rear alone takes a long time without a full 4 wheel setup.

the crx i can use my toe plates and adjust as needed. im not as picky. but when i buy a new set of tires, ill make sure it comes with a full alignment.

not going anywere in torrance, jus wanted to know if anyone knew of a shop around there. I might end up going to Just wheels in gardena. But if you say firestone is good, i might go there, were is it located?

Tyson

im not saying firestone is good. its just where i go because they had a good lifetime alignment deal.

ware

oh.. how much was it for the lifetime warranty? do i tell them i just want an alignment or tell them specifically to fix the toe?.. were is it located? some places dont want to do lowered cars.. will they?

Tyson

like $150

i dunno. my s2000 is not lowered.

ware

this is the problem i have, places i go.. dont want to do lowered cars .. im going to just go all over the place and find somewere that does it..
