Looking for a reputable recommendation to get my C5 corner balanced and a specialized alignment.

Located in N.E. Oklahoma but willing to drive to the "right" shop.

Please let me know of any leads....thanks

Phoenix Racing is the best. I believe they are a Forum vendor. If you can't get to them, then they will recommend someone they trust closer to you.

Thanks for the info........and yes, they are a bit far (15hrs one-way) but I will give them a call.


Anyone else know of something closer ??

Thanks.........

I corresponded with an outfit called ET Tuning in Union MO (~30 mi. SW of St. Louis on I-44... maybe a 275 mi drive for you). They said they could corner weigh/balance and align my C6. Google for website and contact info (I used the contact form on their website, they got back to me fairly quickly). They also have a dyno and probably do tuning.

I haven't made it up there yet, waiting for better weather.

Hopefully I'm stating the obvious, but my understanding is that you'll need adjustable sway bar end links for a corner balance to be effective. I bit the bullet and got the LG quiet units.

Find a race track close by and go talk to people.

It's not rocket science. IMO corner weight is overrated unless you are racing tt or wtw. You will not be able to feel that your car is corner weighted unless you are driving 10/10 ths on a race track.

What are you trying to accomplish?

For the price of gas you are going to burn you could buy the tools, watch my videos and DIY.

Well.......both (forward and aft) cradles have been out of the car (several times). Built new UHMW A-arm bushing (x16)......going to install rear T1 bar with hiem links and run solid drive train mounts.
The car has been lightened considerable (under 3000lbs with me).

I could be in LG's parking lot in 3.5hrs.

With all this weight removed as well as the suspension mods, I feel a corner weight and specified alignment is the least I should do.

Your thoughts ??

It helps with even tire wear on the road course in addition to driving feel. Just drive it on the scales at your next track event and see if you're halfway close.

What did you take out to lighten? LG's shop is in a league of it's own, that would be worth a long trip. Trouble is is you put a lot of neg camber or toe on the car and drive it on freeways 250 or 300 miles you will incur quite a lot of wear on the tires, can you trailer it?
