Default Can-Alignment

Just wanted to give a recommendation for anyone looking for a street or race alignment, especially with SG closed, to visit Scott at Can-Alignment.

Just had my car in for an alignment and some fab work and the guy knows his stuff! Probably one of the most experienced drivers in Canada, and a Nissan guy that knows our cars. He was installing a certain someone's SPL bushings that I tried to steal when I was there :P

If you are on coilovers, go get your car corner balanced and aligned, best mod you can do!

Nice!! Was looking for a place now that Sasha isn't open to the public anymore..

By chance would you know what he charges for an alignment and corner balance?

To be honest I don't, as I had a few things done at once. If you give him a call during the day I am sure he can give you a quote. 905-690-3100

do you have adjustable front A arms?

What were you able to get your negative camber up front to?

Stock A-arms, so no adjustment in the front.

I think rear camber has some adjustment, and toe can be changed, but mine were all set to OEM. I'd like to get SPL front arms. I'd like a lot of things...

Scott from Can-alignment has been a sponsor of www.son240sx.org for many years and he is the only person i've let touch the suspension on my cars for years... for suspension set-up only he is better than anyone else around.

i couldnt recommend him any higher. He set up my S13, S14 and my G35. He does more than just alignment and corner balance... if you have coilovers he'll set the height tand other specs too.

just tell him what the purpose of the car is and he'll set it up right. don't ask questions.

i had him raise up my s13 and redo all the suspenion and it cut 2 seconds off my times at Dunnville way back when.

I am in china and the link won't work. Where is he located? Just got A-arms and rear camber adjustment installed before winter storage and didn't get a chance to get alignment done. Glad my mechanic is only a few blocks away because it drove like a clown car.

Can-Alignment is located on HWY 6 between the 401 and Hamilton. He is awesome with stock suspension setups; amazing with custom stuff. Call him for pricing which is incredibly fair and worthwhile. I echo what Bing says, just tell him how you drive and then let him go. You don't have to ask questions because he'll keep you on top of things and tell you lots of racing stories as you go.

If you're west of Toronto, make the drive to Can-Alignment. If you're east of Toronto then consider Simone Performance Imports in Newmarket - either one of these shops is worth the time it takes to drive to them.

haha that must be it!

Actually I hurt myself getting into the car more than anything. Squeezing my 6'4 body into the stock seats of a sports car was awkward enough
