Alignment shop in the northeast?

Can anybody recommend a good alignment shop who can do corner weighting in the northeast? i'm located in central NJ, but would be willing to travel a couple hours for a good shop. I used eurotire in north jersey the last time, but i was less than impressed. theiridea of corner weighting is just to put the car on the scales and jot down the weights on a scrap of papers. they didn't touch the ride height on the coilovers, and the cross weights were not even close. i was originally scheduled to have it done by Robi while he is NJ this month but i just killed my TC so need to get that fixed 1st. thanks in advance.

Strange. I've had great experiences at Eurotire. They put you in the car and do the alignment and corner weight as necessary. They set up my E30 track car and it was absolutely perfect. I also had them do my '03 Evo and they did exactly as I asked. Totally transformed the handling.

Maybe you can try TC Kline in Ohio? They're BMW guys but have a great reputation for setting up track cars.

glad you had a good experience. when i arrived there i mentioned to the manager (owner?) that i had brought the wrenches for the coilover perches, if they needed them. he shot me a dirty look and in his best condescending tone told me "we have our own tools here...."
