Eddie44 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd like to lower mine a little more. Maybe you could cut us a group rate Joe. We could have an alignment day at Classic Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an alignment in the morning (7 AM ) They look great - haven't got on the freeway but briefly to see if the vibration was still there - it is. Alignment should take care of it.

Guest UVETTYA Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Classic Gold did my alignment and the car handles great now! Eddie boy told me straight up he probably wouldn't be able to get the castor in because it was lowered. When he was done he told me he WAS able to get the castor in. So I think he took his time and made sure I got a good alignment. There's a noticeable difference in how the car handles now and I would take it to Classic Gold again, no doubt.

1EvilC5 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just picked up my Vette from Joe at Classic Gold and they did a fantastic job. The car now floats down the road verses trying to fight it just to go straight.Anyone that needs an alignment should definetly give them your business.Phil...

There is a small bit of vibration at the steering wheel but that is due to a slight chop in the front tires, which Ed says will disappear as the tires wear a bit more. I've noticed it is smoothing out already and the really bad vibration is totally gone. There's no doubt in my mind Ed is a perfectionist and really knows his stuff!

Thanx for the tip - shocks already done and they WERE easy! I'm putting about 100 miles a day on her and it is getting smoother each day. According to Ed the numbers were all in the red before he started and all the adjustments were frozen up pretty good. It amazes me the factory wheels and tires worked so well, as I had it going quite fast enroute to Yuma with absolutely no shimmy or shake. Thoses wider / larger wheels coupled with the adapters probably threw everything way out of spec's. I'm just glad I didn't screw up the fronts tires along with the ones I had to replace.
