Default Suspension Tuner Raleigh NC

I have a 2003 Stock Z06 and would like to find a suspension expert to set up my car for street and track. I only run at VIR and drive to the track from North Raleigh. Any Ideas?

There is a good suspension guy off Alston ave in Durham.
Or give one of these a call:

Performance Chassis, Wheel & Tire. 214 Hillsboro Ave, Cary NC 27513 919 466 0553

Dave Davis Automotive, 1200 Kirkland Rd., Raleigh NC 27603 919 829 9599

http://www.thscc.com/timetrial/index.html

Atlantic Ave Tire in Raleigh ( by UPS) is also a possibility. They did mine several years ago.

Now I do my own

David set my car up and it made a HUGE difference. It depends on what you want him to do and how deep you want to go, but he can corner weighting, set up the chassis and do the alignment.

really? We have not noticed any difference on track - must be a carbon unit issue.

The only place I can think of in Durham is Digital Chassis. He does alignment and corner weighting. Supposed to be very good. I use Performance Chassis for alignment, corner weight, and tire mount/balance. Been using them for years.

For installing go fast parts and dyno tune I would use Carolina Auto Masters.

There are a few others here and there.

BE very very careful with CAM. More than one person on this forum has been burned badly by them.

Oh yea, and Jeff..........you need to catch me before you can see the difference.

Wally. How's it going buddy. I have only had Jeff do dyno tunes on my stock motor. On both Z06's. Never had a problem and got decent gains. Haven't let him put in the cam/head/header/tune package for road racing that he was trying to sell me. Can you provide more detail or PM me if it is a no-no to say it on here.

Thanks. Graham
