OC alignment shops

[kurtdesch]

Can anybody recomend an alignment shop in orange county? All of the shops I went to today don't have the specs for a Fit and I went to the dealership and they won't do it because I have aftermarket wheels. HELP????

stock height? any plans on lowering?

is the car tracking straight right now? i just put used aftermarket in my car today and it seemed fine. I would just keep an eye on the tire wear for now. The saying about getting alignment after new tires or wheels is not always true.

But if you're concerned, try Hiro's in Costa Mesa. They did my AE86 which is lowered. They use the lasers but know how to customize it for your application. I told them I wanted a street sometimes track set up.

They do a lot of race cars. Kaaz cars and can't recollect who else.

Cars already lowered with Skunk2 springs. everything is straight but I went through a set of tires in 5 months. I bought new tires and was to get an alignment before I mount them.

mount the new tires 1st then get an alignment. call hiros to see if they can mount your tires.

most likely your camber was way off and possibly toe.
