Wheel mounting and alignment

[2mprzya]

Where abouts is the best/cheapest place to get a set of rims and tires mounted and have the balance checked, and get an all wheel alignment?

[Jon]

I've always gone to NTB at the mall to get my rims mounted and balanced. It was only 40 bucks. I've never got an alignment there though.

If you want to drive to brookline nhsilversti(ted) does a great job on mine
just wheels and tires though
I got his# if you want him to do it

for the all wheel alignment I'm going to synaptic 3 on thursday at 1 pm for my sti

[2mprzya]

^ how much is that going to be? i'm trying to get in contact with them via email.

[f1vlad]

My friend in Nashua can hook you up, too, he will do alignment as you would like, camber of your preference, etc.

[Kevin]

they told me 75 an hour

[2mprzya]

thanks vlad, but nashua is a bit out of my way. how much do you think he'd charge?

i will be ordering my springs sometime this weekend so once i get everything in and installed i might have to give you a ring.

Anyone want to help me throw on my prodrive springs?

[Nate8409]

Give it time before the alignment. The springs will more than likely settle some. Also pick up a set of rear camber bolts. If you don't the rear alignment will have a good chunk of negative camber.

[2mprzya]

what would recommend?

[Nate8409]

Week or two. My car sat much higher for a while before the springs settled. Depends on how much you drive too.

[2mprzya]

what would you guys suggest i get it set at? I have no idea on this kind of stuff.

i drive about 300 miles a week, mostly highway, but im a spirited driver. i'm not tracking the car, but i have a little winter fun with it.

[Nate8409]

Depends on how you want it to handle. Toe angle 0 all that way around and a degree negative in the front. Rear at 0 camber.

Yeah give the springs two weeks.

Davie's Tire in Portsmouth has mounted and balanced two sets of wheels and tires for $40/set. FWIW, the set was not on the car, not sure if that makes a difference in price.

I would take those questions to Synaptic 3. Tell them you want it to "feel right" but not sure exactly what to spec. Some front negative camber and zero toe all around seems common. IMO it's worth paying for their expertise. Have them tell you what's right and what's wrong.

Davies Tire in Portsmouth can mount ballance tires and align your whip to whatever settings you want.

i went to precision auto in portsmouth. i was happy

I've recently had luck with (and a few others) Sullivan Tire on 108....

They only have 1 or 2 guys that work do work on low profiles and 18+ rims... they also do road force balancing, etc
