If you can do it yourself, I can sponsor your car on base and get it to the lift (only costs 6 bucks an hour)...

at this point it doesn't even matter. you may clear the ramp but you won't clear real life.

they actually have the equipment their, i saw them put it on the rack, align it, and take it off, my car is tucking tire and had no problems putting it on and off. One of the pros is that i got to see what they were doing rather than be in some sitting area, cons is their is no sitting area.

^ They must have upgraded since 06, I was gonna buy the coils from them and let them do the install, they were the most honest and realistic of any shop I talked to, Speedware wanted labor for 6-8 hours to install coils on my Z, I lol'd, then I did it myself in 2 hours

Unhappy

stage performance in kirkland 425-820-2490. Top of the line alignment rack with scales to corner balance the vehicle too. Asen (350Zimo) just got his Z done there and he said that he loves it. He is also dumped and they didnt scrape him or me when i went there. They got little ramp things they put down.

About how much will an alignment cost from one of the better shops? I just need an alignment not corner balance.

You can get a lifetime alignment at Firestone for like $130-$140 ish bucks. That's what I did. They use the same alignment system as Stage performance.
