Where's a good alignment shop near Chicago?
 
Ok I just got coilovers on my car and the alignment tech at my local firestone did a decent alignment on my car but not to the specs I would like. I need a shop that knows Evo's and how to properly adjust the alignment rather than just matching numbers. Such as how adding negative camber to the rear will help increase toe in. Does anyone have any recommendations of shops that they bring their car to? Who does AMS send their cars to? I know that there is supposedly a good alignment shop that works on Evo's near Downers Grove but I can't remember the shop for the life of me.

Thanks,

Justin

Thalmans in Glenview -847.272.1810

They are pretty much the best. Did some work on my M3 and brother's Vette. Even Fall- Line Motorsports uses them for all of their suspension work.

Great thank you i'll give them a call {thumbup}

Wow what a great place, called them and scheduled an appointment for next Friday. They have the newest Hunter equipment and their alignment rack is recessed into the ground. Which means I don't have to take off my front lip like I usually do. :) He said he can set it to whatever specs I would like and it it won't cost me an arm and a leg either. {thumbup}

We actually do all of our track alignments here in house. If you are looking for a street alignment we can send you to a few possible places

If you are looking to corner weight, Balance and Get a track ready alignment...look no further then AMS.

Anyone get their evo serviced just to zero out the toe? How much? I want to keep the stock alignment but just to zero the toe so the inside of the tire wont wear as fast. (if thats possible)
