As some may know, i spent the past weekend lowering my car 1". I've got some BMR bolts and a BMR adj panhard on the way but i'd like to have a shop do the fine tuning of the alignment.

I took it to my ford dealer and as soon as they heard the word "lowered" then turned me right out the door.

As far as places to turn to, i was thinking of heading over to BIg Daddy? not many other places come to mind tbh

We have a good shop in the club that does it. Ask Reyco: http://www.njstangers.org/forum/reyco-auto-f165.html

He did mine without a problem!

ugh what a joke, alignments have been the single largest headache with my car. I've been to 5 different shops and still haven't found one I'm happy with. If only I had access to a rack I'd do mine myself. Next time I need one, I'll be making a the trek to north jersey to go to SJF performance.

This guy is in north jersey, he is one of the core-group NNJR SCCA people, knows his stuff, and can't be scared away by ANYTHING. you may wanna check him out. Alot of the guys that race with us swear by his work.

(though his website isn't great)

my old shop did mine and its spot on. i know because i over seeing it but the dual camber bolts made it pretty easy.

I just brought it to a shop near me and its set so bad my car pulls to the right. I brought it back but if they can't fix it I may just go to Reyco during the week.

I go to Gabriel's in South Amboy, They always do a great job and had no problem doing my car yesterday. Although their computer couldn't read my ABS light for some reason.

Is there any shops in Central NJ around the Union County area.

Reyco Racing in Fairview it's pretty good....if you guys need to get it done, just go there during the week...he'll take care of you just like he did with mine and I have the Roush Trak Suspension, no problem for them to tune it spot on, after Mr Awesome did a good job getting it set pretty damn good so I could drive it home from his house.

Yeah that's what I dealt with forever.

One shop said that they couldn't get my car into spec and tried to order two new spindles because mine were "clearly bent" (ARE YOU SERIOUS?) [a shop in Neptune that closed since]

The other shop said that "Oh, this is a mustang, it has a very responsive steering box, these cars all pull. My truck pulls very bad, it's normal [the Front End Shop in Farmingdale]

My last shop in Neptune didn't torque the very important spindle-shock bolts, and it would clunk over bumps (not to mention that is one of the ways camber is adjusted, so clearly my car is not aligned anymore)

I've got a friend at Haldeman, I may just go in and do it with him after work one day
