Can anyone recommend a good shop in Phoenix to get an alignment. The place I just went recently didn't leave me feeling very confident about the alignment afterwards. I won't name the place - I feel they are probably normally decent, but probably have never worked on a MINI with all the adjustments mine had.

Thanks

 

I dont know of any off hand, havent needed one yet. Post a msg on our local chapter sight (www.dynamicminicollective.org site). There are a few knowlegdeable tech guys on there that would know

 

I've heard good things about these guys.

Thanks for the tips - I will sign up on the DMC (haven't yet)

 

These guys race prep MINI's and BMW's in the Phoenix area:

They don't do alignments in house. And the place they used scratched up the lips on my wheels.

 

Network Alignment will do custom specs. Just know what you want when you go in and they will get you as close as they can.

 

That sucks...do you know who they used?

 

I went to a place right off of Deer Valley/I-17. Looked like a good shop. But they scratched my rims. Now...I dont have DPE/HRE/I-Forged but I like my Exels. Damn....buttheads!

 

I have no idea who they used, but I was getting my M3 aligned and corner balanced - and it does have iForged's on it.

I ended up getting an appointment with Redline Motorsports in Tempe. They work with the Cross coilovers, so I feel pretty confident that they will do a good job.

I ended up at Redline Motorsports, if anyone has any questions about it, feel free to PM me. I'm pretty sure I was his first MINI he worked on

 

Is that with your K-Sports? How is the front camber adjusted on those? Is the camber plate under the tower?

 

Since Im up and Kal isnt...I'll answer for him... He didnt use the K-Sport plates supplied and went with RDR's.

 

Dang-it! The guy who did mine had a pain of a time doing the plates on the Cross since they are under the tower and when fully dropped, they are still a little hard to access.

 

On the RDR's the adjustment plate sticks through the opening. On my KMAC's it is sunken in but uses a flathead screwdriver hole to adjust....maybe thats how it is??
