does anyone from west coast know some good shops in LA? I saw some 8 yr old posts but things might have changed in a while... any info would be greatly appreciated. A place who knows vettes and does good job on them.

I bought a 07 z51 vette 6 months ago and it was lowered. I asked the seller if he can bring it back up to stock height and he kindly did it for me, but I guess the alignment went a bit off in the process.

went for my first oil change and found out the inner front wheels are wearing quicker than the outer parts. I don't want to just go anywhere with a vette so any info would be helpful... also if you know the price ballpark that would be helpful as well.

lastly, what setting would be the most "tire friendly, neutral setting" with a vette? I don't track and don't drive it hard, just occasional "step on" in the fwy on a roll (like 50-80) time to time so I don't need aggressive setting. its my DD so I would like to drive it as long as possible between tire changes.

thanks everyone!

I've had good luck with Tom's Tire Performance Center in Long Beach. They've done 2 sets of Michelin PS2-ZP's, several alignments, and installed the PFADT JOC Stage 1 package for me. They did the alignment to the PFADT street performance specs which I gave them.
