I went to WCN to get my alignment done cuz they do good work and the know our car. You might want to try Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim, I think they are more pricy though.

Irvine Nissan ... I Believe They Are Called Oc Nissan Now
949-951-7575
Ask For Julian In Service
Make An Appointment For Martin Only (nissan Master Tech.) To Do The Alignment
They Got A Good Machine And He's A Great Technician.
They Should Be Able To Do Lowered Cars Because Mine Is Low And They Were Able To Do It.
If It's A Problem, They Will Let You Know.
Tell Them Nima @ Corner3 Sent You.

I Also Hear Wcn Does Good Work.

I had the guys at Just Tires do mine after-hours to my specs. Never had any issues.

I have buddy club coilovers on my daily ... honda civic hb. Not crazy low but low enough that other places around here rejected. I can't say 100% that he can do it but I would say give it a try.

Go to West End Alignment in Gardena. This is by far the best alignment shop in so cal. Darin is the man, look him up on any forum. He is often booked up. Call him though and perhaps he can get you in. His shop is immaculate and he is really OCD about his work. He had me take my car for a test drive without leaving any info or anything before paying. This was when I had my s2000. He is the only shop people on s2ki use. Especially all the track and autocross guys.

Try Shoreline motoring in huntington beach.

Westend is an excellent choice, but I believe people over-hype the place a bit. On the s2ki forums, people speak of magic getting done, but it's just an alignment....no "magic" to be found. As far as his shop being "immaculate," well this doesn't affect the job being done, but westend is definitely not the cleanest shop I've been to.

i disagree....he did do magic to my s2000. And his shop being immaculate just shows how much pride he takes in what he does. I have sent people to him from all over (one as far as big bear) and everyone has raved about his services. The guy from big bear has gone back multiple times at almost 3 hrs round trip

Don't get me wrong, I do like westend. Anyone can get a quality alignment at westend regardless, but honestly, nothing you can't get from a hunter alignment machine. As far as magic, well it's an alignment, nothing mysterious or magical about it.

The condition of his shop in no way affects the work being done, but I really don't see how you can call it immaculate. I suggest you visit a few other shops and you'll see what immaculate and cleanliness really means.

If you are willing to drive to Gardena ... West End is a great shop. I was under the understanding that you were looking for something in Costa mesa/Irvine/OC area. If you go to West End, make sure you make an appointment atleast two weeks before you plan on going. He is worth the wait and drive.

What up Andre. I don't know M-workz ... haven't heard much about them. West End I heard about from a couple reliable sources.

Glad to hear from you man ... don't work too hard ... hope the car is doing well.

Steve says what up.
