Any one capable of doing an alignment in Sarasota FL?
 
I have a 71T, and have recently rebuilt the suspension. New bushings, tie-rods, ball joints, struts and torsion bars. I’ve added a front sway bar and camber bar. I have the ride height set at 25 1/2” front and 25 ¼” for the rear. Now if only I can find someone capable of doing an alignment. I have taken it to two different shops. The first lowered it (23 1/2” Front and rear) and then said it must have been hit at some point, because they couldn’t get the camber correct. Call me crazy, but I thought the finders rubbing on the rear tires was a dead give away. The tech at the second shop swore up and down “Not a problem we do’em all the time”. Then he airs up the tires to 36psi. During the subsequent conversation I describe the suspension upgrades that had been done. “Ugh, I can check the rear, but I don’t have the tools to make any changes”

Who did you use? Scottshop recommended D&W tire when I did roughly the same kit out as you, I only had the front end aligned but I do know they can do both ends. 2856 Clark Road, 922 5544.

Is you car a green coupe?

Jeremy, I believe you are truly evil.

All this time since your move across the pond and you still haven't lost your sense of humour...
