Default Good alignment shop in Denver??

Well, after 7K miles my tires have feathered again. I had John Elway Nissan pay for two new front tires, and they'll be here in a few weeks. In the mean time, I figured I'd get a set of winter tires. Now that I'm going to replace the tires, I want a GOOD place to get a 4-wheel alignment. I got my initial 4-wheel alignment from John Elway, but obviously they didn't do anything, b/c after 7K miles it happened again.

If you guys know of any reputable alignment place that handles the Z in Denver, please let me know. Thanks!

No matter where you take your car for the alignment it will happen again. The problem is the car itself, not the service personnel. There really hasn't been a sound-proof way to fix this problem. Many people have tried various things and it's worked for them but not others. I would do a "tire-feathering" search to learn more.

Sure there is a way to fix the problem... just put an '05 front end on your baby! They don't have feathering probs, do they?

Or, why not get some aftermarket camber control 'A' arms? I know of some peeps that have done so and fixed the prob.

O5 is one way to go about it, I've heard of one or two ppl with tranny problems on the 05 but that might just be only them. Either way, by the time you put the time and money into trying to fix the 03, might as well trade it in for the 05.

Yeah exactly. My friend suggested getting a life-time wheel alignment with Firestone, but it's not worth the time to go into the shop and get an alignment once a month.

I think I might trade in my '04 for an '05. Or maybe even just buy a different car all together. I love my Z very much, but it's my all-season car so maybe I need something a little more practical in the snow like an Audi TT.

Arrgh, the Z owns the TT though. It's a shame I'm having this problem cos I love my car....

STI or Evo? Its pretty fast and great in the winter. Just don't look as great as the Z.
