The only shop i know of who does this is Digital Chassis. Brad has a super rep, but $240 for an alignment and corner balance is getting on up there.

Anyone know of any other options? i might get a $60 alignment at CAM and then try to find a deal for the corner balancing seperately.

I thought Mark Vitacco was doing the corner weighting thing??

Maybe check the THSCC sponsor list?

I do corner balancing,,,$25 an hour,,,If you've got coilovers and not using some type of jacking screws(some corvettes) or coil spacers( 2 recent Mercedes),it usuallt takes less than an hour.BUT...I'm 15 minutes north of GSO ,so its a drive for you.

actually i believe the rear spring perches will be the jacking type. i havent gotten them in yet and its sort of a custom setup. why does this type take longer?

from my understanding the bolt will stick downward and i can just reach under and raise/lower no prob.

i'll keep that in mind, thanks

'15 minutes North of GSO'.

Being an RDU airport guy, I'm sure you know where GSO is.
(For those that don't, GSO = Piedmont Triad International Airport, between Greensboro and High Point).

Thanks Keith, I figured that part :lol:

, I was just wondering where north of GSO he is. Another city, a street, dirt path? Some people's version of "15 minutes" is way different than mine!!

I'm about 15minutes north on Hwy 68,then right on HWY 65 for about 2-3 minutes.Stokesdale,NC ...The Jacking bolts dont seem to transfer weight as evenly as coilovers and it usually takes several more adjustments to get them where you want them.

Sounds like it may be time for a little field trip!!

don't forget K&E - my best finish to date (3rd in the CCPS last Oct) was after David Blum set my car up for me.

I just gave em a call.

The guy was pretty friendly and explained rather thoroughly the steps they go through during the alignment and balancing process. He also said they'll tweak it all to your specs or they can help advise you in setting up the car. He also said the first 15min or so is just us talking so he understands what i want from the car, etc. From reading their website it looks like they know what theyre doing.

For my car, he said itd be a 2.5-3.5hr job and would cost between $185 and $275
