Default C7 Alignment with rear caster

Anyone know of a dealer or private shop that does wheel alignments including the rear caster for a C7 Z06 in Northern NJ?

If you happen to know the cost, that would be helpful as well.

A couple of days ago I went to Ivan's Alignments in Cliffside Park NJ to get an alignment on my C7. Prior to me visiting I called him and discussed that I wanted to set the alignment numbers including caster to the DSC specs which I had given him, he was not aware that you could change caster in the rear of our cars and asked me to send him a link to the forum pages showing the procedure. I was happy to hear his willingness to learn about the platform, prior to this. calls to other alignment shops in the area were met with the usual - "no caster adjustment on rear wheels is possible" I had heard this multiple times before but Ivan started a dialogue with me which made me feel very comfortable in his knowledge of car setups. He is a 1/4 mile racer himself and has a huge following from that crowd. He has a really clean shop that he rents out behind a tire distributor in Cliffside Park and was very busy the Saturday that I dropped by for my appointment considering that he only does alignments. He told me that he does over 2,000 a year and by the line of cars outside waiting for alignments I believe it, the guy knows his stuff! I am happy to say that the car came out with the numbers I wanted. I just sourced an OEM caster tool for him so he will have that in his shop ready to go if anyone is looking to do a proper caster alignment in the NJ/NY area. He is easy to find - Just do a search on Ivan's Alignments in Cliffside Park, NJ.

I grew up in CP, I’m taking my car for an alignment this spring but I’ve been talking to someone a bit more west. What does Ivan charge?

very good price, I still go to CP pretty frequently. I think the location you’re describing is right by the high school.

Memories...wonder if I went to school with him depending on his age

Yep, the shop is a couple of blocks from the HS - 611 Palisade Ave is the address, his private bay is in the back of the building on Delia Lane. I was really happy with his pricing and his service. You can see pictures of his shop and customer cars on Instagram @Ivans_alignments
