Suspension & Performance Alignments

Coilovers, lowering springs, sway bars, adjustable control arms, bushings, corner balancing, and custom alignment setup for your driving goals.

Overview

How we approach suspension

Good suspension is a system, not a parts list. We install and set up coilovers from KW, Öhlins, Fortune Auto, BC Racing and Tein, then align the car to a spec built around your tires, ride height and use. Street, autocross, road course and drift all call for different numbers, and we will explain every one of them.

Alignments are done in-house on our Hunter Engineering laser alignment machine, and we have scales for corner balancing. We also replace worn OEM bushings, ball joints and top hats on higher-mileage cars, because a 20-year-old 350Z or Integra will never feel right on new dampers with tired rubber.

What is included

Suspension questions

Do I need an alignment after coilovers?

Yes, every time ride height changes. Camber, toe and thrust angle all move with height, and skipping the alignment ruins tires and handling.

Can you align a lowered car?

Yes. Our racks handle low, wide and long-wheelbase cars, and we carry camber and toe correction hardware for most Japanese platforms.

What is a corner balance?

It is the process of adjusting each spring perch so the car's weight is split evenly across diagonal pairs of wheels. It makes handling symmetrical and is worth it on any track car.
