Default Alignment question

Anyone have a great shop for a 4 wheel alignment on a lowered C5?

I had some front end work done and need an alignment.

NW burbs would be best schaumburg area?

Thanks Vic

VIC,

Addison Alignment in Addison, IL, on Lake STreet, has been alinging the 6 different vettes I have owned since 1993. I have turned a few other C5 members onto them and they have all been please.

Jim the owner of Addison Allignment, is a super good guy, but likes his afternoon golf times in the summer, so call for an appt. and he will get you in around his golf schedule and will dial your baby in!

Another vote for Addison Alignment. Just don't block his driveway when you get there (inside joke with ipmtim).

VIC,

I tracked down a similar post from last week and here is a quote with some of the info you ask for from Perfectly Frank. I would call the owner b/c if your car is really slammed it could be a potential problem (but JIM the owner should probably be able to handle it).


"Myself and several others here have used Addison Wheel Alignment. http://www.addisonwheelalignment.com/ They know Vettes and can do a custom alignment if you like. I had them do mine as "aggressive street".

I think I paid around $135 for a C5. ipmtim had his C6 Z06 done while we were there and it was the same price."

Yep, thats the price.
I don't understand why a slammied car would cause problems, they use a pit system and the car is never raised off its wheels.

732 miles roundtrip might be a little too far for Vic to go for an alignment.
