As the title say. I already know about the sticky on alignment shops which some of our members know about. I am looking for a shop that has actually done an alignment on a Evo. I don't really want my car to be the first and screw everything up. Thanks

They don't have the alignment full alignment setup that the other places mentioned do, just camber/caster/toe gauges. Okay for making small changes if you know where you're starting from.

Roger Krause Racing, our Evo was used as a baseline of sorts by them for alignment of Evos. Brandon is a great guy and really knows his stuff. Being a racer as well when you talk to him about your needs and goals he knows what your saying.

I vote Roger Kraus, Brandon did my alignment too. Took him less than an hour to get it dialed in, he really knows his stuff. Luckily he had already aligned several Evos with Zeals, so I had no worries.

Anywhere from a bit under $100 (Motorsport Techniques) to a bit over $200 (Custom Alignment).

i went to a local just tires and they suck major balls! my car sounds funny when i hit 70 and up. it makes a sound like not rims arnt balanced. shit right after i had it done i was driving home and my steering wheel all of a sudden felt loose and i had to take it back next day. so make sure to take it to specialized place.

I went to Custom Alignment in Mountain View a few weeks ago, they did a great job, and were very friendly. They squeezed me in on short notice. I would go back to them and recommend them to everyone here 8)

how much does it usually cost at roger kraus for a full suspension work?like corner weighing/alignment and maybe some height adjustment,and is corner weighing really necessary since i only autox my car once in a while?

From what I remember, it was just under $200 for corner balance and 4 wheel alignment. Maybe $185? It was a while ago, I have forgotten.

Your memory is foggy (or maybe goes back quite a few years). :)

Kraus also gives you a nifty little book with all your car alignment and cornerweighting stats.

Includes things like this:

Warp what are you looking for? I use Frontier Tire in V.V. and they have always hit the nail on the head. Ask for Carlos.

We do have scales and we do offer in house corner wieghting @ alignment. And no, we do not have a traditional alignment machine. But we do have some fancy tools and tricks to make your car drive straight, not burn through tires, and handle like an EVO should!

Oh yeah we can do the same for your other performance cars too, BMW, Porsche, Subaru, D1GP Car, etc...
