Good place for alignment?

REKIII

I usually have my uncle help with my alignment, but sometimes he may not be available. I'm looking for a quality alignment place that know how to deal with lowered cars and custom alignments.

I also have a friend who just picked up a Z4 looking for a place and is als oa bit concerned on where to take it that knows what they are doing (not just do what the computer tells them too).

We are only a bit north of milwaukee, so any suggestion from Milwaukee to FDL would be cool.

Thanks!

Brian.

I'm looking for the same, but in Madison. And the e28 is slammered

Agreed. You could probably drive that thing under my car. Looks really good!

I wish I had a great recommendation for you but my last conversation with an alignment shop went something like this:

me: "Do you have time to get my car in for a 2-wheel alignment today?"

shop: "Oh sure!, not a problem, our 4-wheel alignment runs $190"

me: "The only component on my car with any adjustability is the front toe. I just replaced my steering rack and just need the toe set again"

shop: " what kind of car?"

(here we go)

me: "91 BMW 325i "

shop: "Oh yeah, we cant do an alignment on those, we dont have the special BMW tool for that one, but theres a shop in Waukesha that does"

me:"Ha! well why dont I bring you my "special bmw tool" (rubber handled crescent wrench) so you can do it"

shop:" Sir, you dont understand, it requires a special bmw tool"

........

I ended up doing it myself. Here in the midwest I get the feeling that most parts stores and shops that ask me what kind of car I have would end up asking me "what kind of Chevy is that?"

Pillars auto in hales corners has a flush alignment rack. I know Kerry had his car done there and he's lower than any of you.

I dunno.. I'm pretty damn low. And I'm going even Lower. But flush racks are flush. You could be dragging, and youd get on.

REKIII

Getting on the rack is one thing, but do these places know what they are doing? Will they align it how I want, even if it's different from 'Whats in the book'?

Yeah, they know what they're doing. You could try Big Bear Tire in Oconomowoc too. They do lots of race car setup.
