Re: Need a recommendation..... (oldace84)
Check with Rogers Corvette Center in Orlando. Ask them for a recommendation. Of course, most of their stuff is under 5000 miles but I suspect they have a preference.
You may choose to study up on camber, caster, toe-in/toe-out, rear wheel thrust angles, etc. Always get them mixed up. Ask the shop for the start and end settings. Some may provide a print out sheet. Prefer those.
On tire balance, the clip-on weights occasionally come off at high speed. I now prefer the inside stick ons. Some shops may not do the dynamic balance with stickys. Have seen this. Maybe equipment dependent.
As far as balancing equipment, Hunter model 9000 and above. The Hunter line has been around for a long time. Alignment and balance, look for heavy, well used equipment. Not the cheap stuff.
Hope things work out. Wish I knew somebody down there.
