Where did evo owners get their alignment after upgrading their suspension?

This will serve as a guide for local baltimore/maryland evo owners.

Thanks

Joe did my allignment and so far so good, I just put in a set of coilovers and new rims and definetly needed an allignment check.

I might have to go to Rt 1 just to get a print out though... does it have a ramp or just a drive through system......I'm running a front lip and has a very low clearance.

I don't think Racecomp has an alignment rack but I know Myles was lookin to get a set of scales to corner balance so i'd say he has his method of aligning as well.

I've been to just about every place in the HoCo area and not one can get it perfect. So I do my own now and it's been best so far. Did some minor adjustments to Dennis's car the other day after coilovers and it came out perfect.

In other words, don't go to just some place with a rack because you'll probably waist your $75. Learn to do it yourself or find a good shop that does it with hand tools. Those big alignment racks are junk and are never on point.

-Joe

P.S. If you find a good shop let us know!!! lol

If you can find a few people wanting a high quality alignment, you can set up a "group alignment day" and have Robi from RobiSpec come out and hook you guys up. He did a phenomenal job on my lancer and best of all he does things the manual way, which is infinitely more accurate than using a computer that has to be calibrated correctly.

^I beg to differ... since they are not a sponser I'm going to slam them! First my father used to own a Saleen Mustang, He was driving it home from a car show and a he ran over a nail, we jacked the car up in our garage took the wheel off and took the wheel to NTB on Joppa RD. My father told the guy behind the counter "This is a really expensive wheel, I can only get them from Italy. Please please please do not mess up this wheel, put you're best guy on this" well the guy comes out and says "Mr. Davis here's you're wheel" My dad looks it over and there is a huge chunk of rim and paint missing. (Long story short) My dad fliped out and took his rim and got it fixed at a professional shop and billed NTB for it (couple hundred bucks) I've also had a bad experance with them in my Evo so that is why I go to Mr. Tire on Joppa Rd. or BTG on Mase Ave. My opinoin BTG is better

did you lowered it or you just want an allignment? if you drop it go to Atlantic in pulaski, they are doing this for a long time for lowered cars. if you just want an allignment like Jewish Santa said Mister Tire.

Jewish Santa, pardon my lack of thinking, but BTG stands for..........? And is it past Eastern Tech, if I'm coming from Rossville Blvd.?

Also, has anyone have any experiences w/ any dealers around us? Jerry's, Castle, etc.......

Thanks,
Allan
