Verwilderd Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 As the title states, I'm looking for a shop with a flat alignment rack to get my car aligned. It's been lowered with coilovers and I can seem to find a place willing to touch my car. I'm new to the area so I don't really know of any places to look. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I use FasTrack Auto in Peabody. It is a haul to get out there but they do a great job and know their stuff. They can do custom alignments and corner balancing and the prices are very decent. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlsb Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Fastrack in Peabody.just off 128 Best place in New England.. People come from as far away as NY to have work done at Fast track. Scott, the owner, is an expert on Subies and does race cars all the time. He charges about 70 dollars to do my car (it is lowered) and it has adjustable EVERTHING. In addition he, will advise you on the best settings, based on your suspension and how you are using the car (track, autox,dd, etc.) I don't know what other suspension bits you have, but a drastically lowered car may need them to get the alignment close to specs. http://www.fastrackservice.com/ "Belief does not make truth.

GTStage2 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Swanson Poniac in Acton ma. I have always brought my cars and customers cars to them. They do an excellent job and it's only $60 for an alignment. If you go there ask for Andrew and tell him Dan from NSB sent you, he will hook it up.

Verwilderd Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 As far as suspension bits, I have isc coilovers with rear camber bolts. The car isn't super lowered (about 1.5 in in the front and 1 in in the rear). I have a lip and I think that's what makes people nervous to work on my car. I'll check into these shops and see what can be done. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Bump. Just got another alignment and a tire install from Scott @ Fastrack. I can't say enough good things about these guys. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I might have to make the drive out there then. I really want to get this done before winter really starts to kick in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlsb Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I might have to make the drive out there then. I really want to get this done before winter really starts to kick in gear. People drive from New York to have Scott work on their car, I drive 45 minutes. Free coffee and tea, and a great selection of enthusiast magazines. The best thing about Fastrack is that you KNOW it is done right and the people doing the work know what they are talking about. I went through three shops before I discovered Fastrack. I would drive TWO hours to get to their shop. "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verwilderd Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well I finally made it out to Fastrack today and gotta say that they are just as people said....great. They know their stuff and will really try to make every effort to get your suspension set up correctly. All in all, I gotta say, I am quite happy. I'll also add that their prices are really fair. I was expecting to pay much more for everything than I ended up doing. The car drives totally different now (which I expected) with the alignment....now I can finally push these new coilovers (well...when it's not snowing) and see what they can do. I was actually a little surprised how much nvh was caused by the car not being aligned....it is much quieter. Thanks to those who recommended them. I'll def head back there for future needs....

Garandman Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I got the WRX aligned when I put on my snows. If you car is misaligned at all, handling on wet, snowy or icy roads is really dodgy. One of the guys at work had them put together a snow tire package for his Honda Fit, with alloys and Nokians. They were very competitive.

Glad to hear it. I was there this past Saturday getting my wheels rebalanced (lifetime balance FTW). There was a guy with a SWP GT Wagon but I was too hung-over to make conversation.
