Recommendations for a good alignment shop
I recently purchased a 01 s2k equipped with GC/Koni coilovers and noticed that the left rear camber is off. Long story short, I went to an alignment shop in Oakland (only one that can take me that day) and they couldnt get my rear camber to match. Left rear is -1.8 and right rear is -2.3. I was told that the adjustments are maxed out, there is nothing they can do and there might be something that is bent/broke. (i was not charged for an alignment, just a few bucks for check up)...I dont believe this.
I would like to get a second opinion from someone familiar aligning the S2k before I consider that there might be something that is tweaked in the rear suspension. I prefer a shop around the Concord area but im willing to travel a bit farther.
Thank you in advance.

The rear is very easy to do? you just might have something bent..
Can you take a picture of the two adjusters and post it up here?
Might be easier than making the drive down to Milpitas and to be told the same thing..
If it can be aligned Auto Innovations can do it.

I want a second opinion before I start replacing parts that are not broken or needed.

ask for vinh. tell him kevin with the white s2k sent you
normal price is 75 for a full alignment, caster,toe,camber. which is pretty cheap already but mention my name, he might give you a discount.
