I also heard Garage Boso closed.

damn, thats where i went for my alignment last year. any idea why ?

[usdm180sx]

The owner of driftspeed went back to japan. Great thread! We need more resources like this

[Meow636]

Just what I was looking for definitely need to go stop by and pick up some new rears and getting myself running straight :]

[EsChassisLove]

Awesome. Thanks for this!

[95_S14]

Chris at Fontana Nissan is super legit I rate them a A++++++ I'll always take it to him

Wheel House sucks they wont zero toe they just get it to green and say its good enough. And when you go back because your tires are shredded after one day because of the toe they blame it on ball joints that are perfectly fine! Fuck those guys

[Kevin920415]

Don't forget 714 tires!

[jeremyuhh]

update list.

went to Z alignment today. it sucks getting in the driveway, steep entrance and fucked up pavement, but they have an in-ground rack, so even if youre .5" off the ground they can do it. just remove your aero on the way in.

they dont know shit about shit, they just align to what you want, but you have to be really clear and patient with their tech (not the smartest guy in the world.) Never the less, they got it done. I had brand new toe arms and they didnt give a fuck, lol its all scratched up now but who cares. just a warning for everyone who does decide to go there.

I tried valley pacific listed above on the recommendation of a friend and I finally found my alinement shop. Extremely knowledgeable actually sat down with me, asked what the car was for, and discussed the different options and what they meant for the tire wear and feel of the car. I have a pretty low s14 canyon car. I've had the car 3 years and tried 4 alinement places. First time ever the car goes straight (he even has a way to counter the natural pull to the right all cars have due to the crown in roads), the wheel is centered when the car is going straight, and it handles perfectly.

Got me in same day, very reasonably priced, very good to my freshly painted car. The guy that runs the place Mark is great and entertaining. And best of all..., the waiting room is a couch in the garage so you can watch your car be worked on.

[Driftwurks]

Thanks for this resource and thank you everyone for your reviews. They really help other people out.

i was gonna take it there but i didnt feel like paying $120+ since i had a budget for thanksgiving, blackfriday, and christmas coming up. i bet their service is as good as you say, i could tell over the phone when i spoke to them too.

how low is your car? my previous s13 was scraping road reflectors and sparking on normal roads.

Chassis Masters - Kearny Mesa - San Diego, CA

I was going to try this place out after the reviews i saw on yelp. Ill review when i get an alignment done

[Socalgal]

My car is not all that low, just a slight tuck on the rears (18" rims with 265/35/18) and the fronts made level. In my mind it's a matter of knowledge. His place is set up for lowered cars and that's one of there specialties. The guy Mark is there everyday and takes pride in the shop he runs. My car is not slammed, but if it was I still know where I'd go.

My s14.5 is on coils, and all adjustable arms.

My Lexus is on just lowering springs with shocks (no adjustable arms) and he did a great job on that too.

keep us posted, and if theyre able to do your lowered car, ill add it to the list.

[Frankiefingers77]

Great thread, thanks for this resource.

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Partshopmax does alignments as well I believe.

[Socalgal]

There alinment rack is not in the ground. I should have mentioned that so thank you for asking. They did however have extra long ramps and other already made wooden pieces. If you're car is litterally 1/2 inch off the ground I would call first, otherwise I don't think there'd be a problem. They do have a few inspection pits for working on low cars but not the alinment rack.

My car has a s15 front and was painted very recently. Again it's not crazy low, Maybe 3-5" to the front lip, but they took extreme caution pulling it on the rack and used three sets of eyes.
