I have a couple questions regarding the track alignment...

1) Are their any concerns with having someone other than a dealer perform the track alignment? I don't want to risk my warranty...

2) If the answer to #1 is no concerns is Lang Racing in Lake Forest the best option for this in the OC?

If the answer to #1 is yes, I need to have a dealer do it, can someone provide a recomendation in OC, I'm in Aliso Viejo ?


Thanks a ton. I want to get my car ready for a track day at Chuckwalla in March.

1) No. Historically if dealers have applied any warranty leverage, it's from the on-track stint vs someone else aligning the car.
2) Lang would probably be on the short list of places to go in south OC -- they did a good job on a corner balance on another car (which, I'd expect Oli to chime in soon) so they should be set up well to help get it dialed in.

Westend alignment in Gardena....enough said

I have used both Lang and West End. Both are good.

I have used West End for years with good results. Their capacity at WE is a bit limited now as Darin recently had shoulder surgery, but he might be back at work. All work right now is getting done by his son Chris.

Lang I used for the first time about a month ago. Chris Beliovsky and I did a quick and dirty corner balance with my scales and aligned with some of the crude tools I have. I felt it was pretty close and the limited track time I had with it indicated so. I wanted to have my work validated and I took it to Lang not telling them what I had done. When I picked up the car they said it was all pretty close already, but they made some changes to the caster which Chris and I had not done. That told me that we had done a pretty good job and we validated each others work.

So in closing I will say both shops are good, but I bet West End has a bit more experience with Corvettes, but Lang should do the job fine too.

Lang would be a lot closer to me, Thanks for the info all...

I went to Lang today. Very professional. Running AAA Speedway on Sunday.

Sorry, just saw your post. Yes I went to Lang and they were great. I’m doing Fontana tomorrow

I went to Lang, and I was very pleased with the service. I ran AAA on Sunday, and the car handled great. I was a little rusty after an almost two-year break away from the track; I was running 1.52s'.
