Corner Weight and Alignment (VIC)

Postby Ned Loh » Thu Feb 04, 2016 8:29 am

Hi,

As per the subject, who does a good job of corner weighting and wheel alignments in VIC? How much did you pay?

Prefer SE but will travel to get a good job done at the right price.

Cheers.

finally getting around to following this up. link above doesn't work, and phone number I got from google (03 9036 3173) also doesn't work. Are they closed, or do you have another number?

Also, any other suggestions?

Cheers.

I've heard good things about Shockworks, I think they're over near Lilydale?

Try his mobile. There must be a number if you google lux racing. I haven't got my phone with me to give it to you.

Called them. they only sell suspension. They recommended one company they trust but called and texted the guy a couple of times without him getting back to me.

Anyone else?

Left a couple of messages on Nicks mobile (a month or so ago now), but never heard back.

Anyone else?

How did you go at Traction? I had an alignment done at Centerline today, they are pretty close to me but i'm interested in anyone else people recommend.

Simon at Computerline in Preston used to do mine. He was by far the best operator I'd found in Melbourne but they're shut now. Does anyone know where he went?

Trutrack in Nth Melbourne are really good for track setups too but their core market seems to be things like Fezzas, Mazzers and Porkers. That may tell you something.
