    Good corner balancing and alignment shop in OC?

    I'm trying to find a place in oC to corner-weight and balance my B5. I used to go to Westend Alignment in Gardena...the guy is good, but it's too far from my house. GMG is too expensive...they quoted me $1200 for corner weight and alignment.

    Anyone know of a place that charges reasonable prices? I want corner weighting and balance for track setup. Thanks!

    These are great guys in Costa Mesa and worked on many race cars.
    They're currently are the pit crew for the Team Falken Mustang drift car..
    **Note, they're not the "cheapest" guys on the block and they'll make you sign a Non Disclosure agreement so you cant squak your suspension settings to the general public....

    Damn $1200...what kind of crack were they smoking??? I'd say just take a drive to Westend.

    European Auto Source also does corner balance and alignment. Don't know their pricing, but doesn't hurt to call and find out.

    Called these guys and they specialize in BMW tuning. Tree-fiddy for corner weight and balance with alignment.

    A common business practice when you don't want your work evaluated.

    I used to take my car up to Westend but when I moved down to Irvine the commute got too far. Darren does great work. I found a shop called Lang Racing Development right by my work and they can do the car on Saturdays which I like. I brought them my specs from Westend and they gave me homework of taking tire temperatures and writing down the data and bringing it back. These guys really care about how the car performs and they have the experience and knowledge to get every last bit out of the car. I complained about turn in understeer and they were able to tweak the alignment specs to give the car a little more turn in bite and even made some recommendations on some affordable modifications I could do to get the car to handle better. The owner works on the cars himself and will take the extra time to get every corner perfect. Really affordable too, 100 per hour and they had my car done in under 3 hours.
