Really? In person?

It's slight but these angles don't really show it well. On the freeway it is obvious if you're rolling behind me. I'm sitting a few mils lower than LexusGS3:

Default Good Alignment Shop In 626

Hello, I recently added Tien cst and slaped on some 19s. Now I need to get an alignment. Hope you guys and gals who are rolling in 19s, 20s and up can tell me a good alignment shop in the 626 areas.

Thanks to Whlkev and Romini for the quick reply, I don't mind driving a bit for good works. How much did they charge for your alignment Romini?

yes that's westend. the owner daren is the guy, super nice dude.

with the setup i have, inside wear is almost unavoidable (car very low, camber is awful). he adjusted my toe to kind of compensate the wear. i drive a lot, over 20k miles a year. i flipped the tires at 10k miles and did alignment again and it's still very much the same

not an "official" rules, but here's what i use as guideline, whichever come first
- one year
- 12-15k miles
- hit potholes or curb hard

Default Shop for Alignment in Ventura county

I need my car aligned. This is my other car (328) and it is not lowered or anything, just need an alignment to factory specs.

Stealership wanted $280, LOL. I'm just looking for a recommended shop. I live in Camarillo, but work in Agoura Hills... so it could be in that vicinity.

Any recommendations?
