Cost of mounting & balancing/alignment.

[rhipsher]

I decided to take it to NTB for all the work. The price changed 3 different times talking to the same person. To mount & balance all 4 tires and do the complete alignment it was $195 with tax. Then I brought the car and tires and then it was $125 for everything. Then it was finally $215. That ends up being $15 a tire + $12 for balance. The standard alignment is $57. But the special alignment is $115 for high end cars like porsches ect. I told him that the entire car has been rebushinged new inner/outer tie rods everything. So its gonna take a while so. But I just got the call that its done and ready to pick up. I asked him how bad was it out of alignment. He said it was way out. So I'm of to pick it up.

Just got it back and I'm exstatic. It feals so damn good. Like a totally different car. The difference is unreal. That's the kinda results you want when you bust your azz on a projectt like that. Another successful chapter closed in the ZR-1 diary for me. Now I'm really ready for the Texas BBQ.

As great as it handles I still want coilovers. If you give the machinist brother discount I might buy the hard ware from you. Don't make me have to make them myself. hahaha!

Congratulations. I have yet to rebush the whole car but I know how you feel finally knocking out a major project and making the car feel the way it use to.:cheers:

Wtg I had to do this after I went to coil overs and Poly everything. As expected the backend was way out. The ZFDoc told me to go to a place in Arizona caledl Network Alignment. They took appointments which was great but I knew I was in the right place as on the back wall were pics of the C4 challenge series cars and a couple of C4 racing photos. Cost out the door was less than $75. I could not beleive it. The difference in fell of the car was amazing. GC

P&P the top end was another very noticeable improvement. Putting a hard core clutch was another. But without a doubt rebushing/inner/outter tie rods front and rear weather with new rubber or poly bushings was the most noticeable difference of them all. It doesn't matter how much HP your car is making, if you've got chewing gum suspension it is allot of HP on flimsy legs.
