good link...

Seems like theres over a dozen decent Alignment shops within 5-10 min driving distance from my area.

I might go to Clarence B. since they seem to be able to throw the most aggressive back to near spec.


BTW: You never got an alignment bat?

Zeph,

you are gonna be needing the SPC camber/toe stuff to make the Eibachs allow for aligment .... I know I did when I had them ... so I took em off and sold em instead.

Yeah, i figured that I'm going to have to order the rods. It's almost three weeks and 400 miles yet the car hasn't settled that much. It's as much clearance as stock with barely any scraping and such.

It might be the revised batch of Eibachs, but I dunno I doubt it. These Eibachs or going off by the end of this summer for a coilover system so I guess the the SPC camber kit is inevitable.

I know this thread is old but I just had to post this info for those doing a search for alignment shop in SD.

Lutz Tire & Service
2853 Market Street
San Diego, CA 92101
Phones: 619-232-2957

Went there this morning and they are the best alignment shop I ever went to period. Ive been to Trueline, Clarence Brown, etc. and Lutz beat them all. Friendly, professional and they use the laser alignment to boot. To top it all off it was $69 for a 4 wheel alignment set to my specs with me sitting in the car. They actually told me to sit in the car and asked how I wanted it set up before I even asked. Excellent shop!!!

BTW, I had done a Trueline alignment yesterday. I asked them if I can sit in the car and they looked at me crazy. I told them I wanted certain specs and they didnt understand why(my specs are set very aggressive for track use). Left the shop and my alignment was all screwed up and my steering wheel was not centered. This was verified by Lutz, the specs on my car were not even close to what I told Trueline to do. Lutz uses the laser alignment and they can dial the car in more accurately vs. the older style tools. They even explained everything they were doing to the car while I sat in it.
