Hi, Corner balance and alignment are one thing... Do you have the rsr rear toe links, adjustable upper control arms? Are you looking for more camber in the front end with the gt3 lower arms with shims? Or you can do a preferred street alignment with corner balance. If you would like I will Pm you our best price!

Just paid $240 for corner balance and alignment with KW V3's on the car from Johnson's Alignment. They did an awesome job.

Thanks for the info.

How are you liking them so far, and what else did you change as far as other suspension bits?

I think they're great. I just went to the track with them and I liked the adjustability of the compression and rebound. On the street I can soften them up for a nice rice. Much better than the horrible stock stuff. I don't have anything else by way of suspension on the car but I will be adding GT3 lower control arms for more neg. camber in the front. I actually ran the car without the rear sway bar to keep the oversteer in check. It worked great. I'll probably switch to the GT3 front and rear sways for some adjustability.

My local wrench wants to charge $650 for a corner balance. Is this out of line?

I just got it done today $394

They set my front negative camber at -1.5 as far as it would go and the rear at -2.4.

Does this sound about right?
