Having recently put on C6 Z wheels and tires, Pete was good enough to also give me a set of lowering bolts. Installed those last weekend so it was time to check and re-do alignment if necessary. Took ZR to Suburban Tire on Lake Street in Hanover Park. Ralph does the alignments with an awesome Hunter machine. Ralph is a Corvette brother,
being the owner of a Briar Blue/Black 1972 LT-1. He added Brodix heads. Goes without saying, Ralph "appreciates" Vettes and Vette owners. I would HIGHLY recommend using him for your alignment if you are in the neighborhood. Excellent and THOROUGH service. Ralph took over 2 hours doing the front and rear. Rear wasn't too bad. Fronts were off by 1 and 1.8d. Did a great job. A posting a picture of him and of the before/after alignment specs from the Hunter. BTW, the cost for this was $113. Super. ![]() ![]() We used JeffVs street handling spec as close as we could get. Got camber back near spec. Turn in seems more responsive. Tracks nicely! ![]() Last edited by XfireZ51; 04-23-2010 at 05:33 PM. |

Not sure if front end was off due to diff wheel offset or if it was due to crap job by NTB shop at Stratford Square last year. |

Just gotta grind/drill out the rivets and the new ball joints (got mine from midamerica) come with bolts. Then you can take your Z back to the alignment shop (again) and get those pictures Pete wanted. (No, not you wearing a thong, silly. I mean pix of the alignment process...sheesh! ![]() ![]() P.
