Greenville, SC - Alignment shop?

I'm planning on getting an Eibach Pro-Kit for my 2011 Sedan and I was wondering if anyone had any positive or negative experiences with any alignment shops in the Greenville, SC area.

Thanks for your help!

Dustin

I put Eibachs on my coupe 2 days ago. Going to take her into Bradshaw Infiniti next week to get an alignment. I'll let you know how that goes...

I'd really appreciate that. Typically I try to avoid the dealership like the plague because of their unusually high pricing but if they do a good job and the price is reasonable, I'll definitely consider it. Let me know and if you could, what it costs you. Thanks!

Anyone in the area tried anything other than the dealership? Maybe a performance shop or someone who's familiar with performance modifications (adjustable control arms, camber kits, etc.) rather than the standard OEM parts?

bocifus, how did your alignment turn out?

That price is definitely reasonable. Can you scan your alignment specs when they're done too?

See attached pic for alignment specs. They did it in about an hour and checked the springs too.

Hmm...I gotta be honest, those specs don't look too good. It barely looks like they did anything to your car. If you look up alignment results from some of the other people who bought the Pro Kit they were able to bring theirs much more in line with factory specs. Heck, for some of those numbers, I'd think they're almost within measurement noise of the alignment rack.

Did they let you watch them do it?

the only thing that's out of spec is the front camber and thats factory preset so the only way to fix that would be camber arms. I was looking at alignment specs from other people and mines only a few tenths of a degree difference.

everything else was pretty close to begin with so only very minor adjustments were needed.
