I already did a thread and forum search and couldn't find anything. I know Forged Performance uses Butler Tire which sounds like a great place...but I'm a little short on cash and need something less costly, particularly on the cost of labor per hr part. Butler Tire charges $89/hr, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good shop in or surrounding Atlanta that might charge less. Here's my dilemma though....My car has Cusco Zero 2's.....w/o Camber Adjusters.....so it's sitting wayyyyy low. I plan on purchasing some SPC adjusters from Forged Performance, but they'd need to be installed by the place that will do my alignment, plus there's a good chance my rotors might need to be cut..again...if possible. They're Rotora slotted rotors. So, I know I'm asking for too much, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that is cheaper than $89/hr for labor, and won't charge me more than a couple hundred bucks for the alignment.

My suggestion was Butler Tire but if they are to expensive try the people Tac-M is suggesting. I know both places know there **** so either one you choose will get the job right the first time.

(I tried the whole cheap place thing and I ended up chewing threw my rear tires in 1k miles because my toe was sooooo off. I would just spend the money and get it done right the first time it could become a lot more pricey if you go cheap)

 

I hear ya..I have a million old tales of doing the work myself or w/ friends on so many of my mod installs and paid the price for being too cheap. I would just have forged performance and Butler tire do the whole thing if i could, but w/ this economy, I'd rather send as much of my settlement money to my bills. You never know these days if you'll wake up with a job.

 

Thanks dude. I'll call them tomorrow and see how much they charge.

 

Install your camber arms and toe bolts yourself. It is pretty straight forward. Then you really can get aligned pretty much anywhere. I went to a place called Georgia Tire Depot in East Cobb County - They won't install your camber arms but they will align them for ya.

 

it's not "how much they charge" it's do they work on most track going cars in atl, do custom alignments as wells align the car with you in it.....

 

Well I talked to someone from Forged Performance, and he said that w/o a lift, expect to be working on it for 4-5 hrs (if done correctly). I'll be the first to admit that I'm no good at working on my car other than changing my oil. I really don't want to make those kind of mistakes again, I'd rather hold a shop accountable if something goes wrong...

 

Haha me too still have a headlight and system that doesn't work because of DIY

Just save up and have it all done at once and have a piece of mind. If you are pretty much aligned now then just hold off for a little it won't affect your tires that much.

 

Well..I should had this done a while ago. I have serious negative camber issues. Maybe 40% of the inside of my tire actually touches the ground.

 

How do you get traction with that but whats a couple of more hundred miles going to do

 

Cause I'm Crazy Son!!!!!! I really don't know...I rock 295's in the rear now...so I still get plenty of grip. Plus what's wrong with a little sideways action.

I called them and the 4 wheel alignment is $100 and labor is $87/hr. They will do the alignment and balancing w/ my big a$$ in the car. They didn't sound too confident though when I told them they might be installing my Camber adj's. Maybe I might have Butler Tire do the whole thing.

 

Haha 295 is what I want to step up to next maybe get more traction then my 275's.

Butler installed all my stuff no questions and they even suggested a few things they did on other lowered Z's to get them back in spec.

 

Well my wheels can take as low as 265's I think for a streched look, and as high as 305...but that's just a waste of extra rubber really IMO

 

Yeah I think 305 is over doing it but I think 275-295 is ideal for our kind of cars especially if you are not FI.

 

Well the setup i'm going to eventually try to get at is 275's all around, on 18's. This is what Amuse used on their Touge 350Z. I think that 275's is plenty on a FI setup..unless you're trying to drag..then just get radials (radials not to be used for daily driving of course).

 

your call
