Someone evaluate my $300 alignment please

RRGOO7 · 08-02-2007, 03:56 PM

After going through two sets of rear tires and one set of front tires in 3,000 miles i said ive had enough. Since my car is so dammn low its hard as heck to get it back into alignment specs. I first took it to a shop who charged me $125 and supposedly it was good to go. About three weeks later i check my rear tires and find them to be toasted on the insides. So today i was checking around and heard nothing but good things about a place called Miami Chassis and Alignment. The guy there said he could get it done for $300. I proabbly got overchaged big time but i couldnt give a dammn now that its done and fixed. So can someone check out the alignment. The specs they show are for an E46 but im sure they are similar

For 300 bucks I'd expect them to get closer than that on the rears.

Here's mine after installing a set of H&R sport springs and a set of 19" rims.

After it was performed, it's completely straight and i don't have any problems with the car pulling to one side. Also, the tires have pretty even treadwear.

Hope this helps!

For $300 I'd expect the car to be laser aligned and corner balanced.

I went to Miami Chassis before to get a alignment also, but I eventually decided not to go with them. I had only a 1" drop all around on my previous car and they were going to charge me $300 dollars also. WTF? I knew they were talking crap and I just took it to Firestone and they did a perfect alignment for $50. I hope they did bring you back to specs dude, but your car is low as hell so it's hard for anybody to get it close back to stock specs.
