Any thoughts?

White370j. Where is your shop? I just might have to give you a buzz when I get everything. What do you think about the above setup?
I'm a little worried it won't align wth out adjustable cambers...

Im at a firestone in lake st. Louis. Off n and 40 and if your car is lowered we have no problem getting it on our alignment rack its an in ground one.

My Z is the first higher-performance RWD car I've ever owned, so I would expect that it would get a little more TLC than an Accord. And I totally understand the need for an alignment after suspension changes or if you hit a big pothole or something. But twice a year for normal wear-and-tear?

Historically, I get my cars alignment checked when I buy new tires. Perhaps this is a mistake on my part! I've never had a shop comment that I was out of alignment over the normal ~40-50k range that all-season's seem to last. Maybe all this time I could have been getting 80K out of them!

So discounted alignments for Z's at your shop? I'm there!

I personal would do it more and like you said everytime you get tires to have it checked. I check mine all the time when i get bored.
And i can get you a little discount and if you buy a life time alignment you pay once and every time you want it done/ checked its free. Just let me know when your coming up

Going to have to think about sizes. I will definitely let you know though. I want to get the stock Bridgestones through this summer. I have 20k on them and they are starting to get thin on the outside edges of the rears. If I can get another 5-7k out of them, I think I will be happy.

I want to take it to a place that will take care of it though. I am freaked out to think about my rays getting jacked up. I keep them spotless!

Side-news: Got a JDM rear fog installed. It looks great! Next mod will be spacers...then exhaust. Wife does not want me to lower it though. LOL we already scrape the little plastic things in front of the wheels going into our driveway.

More side-news: Earlier this week. Pulled the Z out of the garage. Had a giant nail in the passenger rear tire. Pulled the wheel off. Ran it up to Lou Fusz. They fixed it for FREE!! Lou, compliment your service department on a great job. I will be comming back if I need service.

I'm taking my Z up to Lou tomorrow morning to get my test pipes and springs installed (finally). My dad is also bringing his Z up for an oil change.

Awesome to hear he took care of you!

Jerggy13 · 03-18-2012, 10:28 PM

If you ever need stuff installed. Let me know. I have a small but pretty well stocked garage.

Not to take money away from Lou, but ever since I sold my VR-4, I don't have anything to work on...LOL!

Thanks for the offer!

You should come out to our next meet. There's a few guys who are going to be modding their cars soon...

A modded Fit? Hmm. I wouldn't mind seeing that. My sister has a Fit but it's definitely not modded. Maybe I can get her to come as my passenger so I'm not the only girl. I want one of you guys to show me how to take off faster in first gear. But I guess we'd need a track for that... bummer.

Well I'm tentative. Let me think about it/try to convince my husband. He'd be stuck with the kids that day and already says I have too many hobbies.

I just had 4 new tires, an alignment and rear brakes put on my Grand Caravan at that Firestone. They did a really good job. There are no marks of any kind on the aluminum wheels.
