Anyone know of a good shop that can corner balance my car around the Metro-Detroit area after I install my CKS coilovers?

My OEM front shocks are toast apparently as are my SPL spherical bearings (the heim joint side that connects to the frame). Both have play and wiggle so I’m replacing the rod end on the LCA and going full coilover instead of my HKS adjustable lowering springs on OEM struts.

The excessive play in the SPL LCA heim joint would definitely explain the tramlining you were describing in the other thread. I would be interested to see how bad the joint is once you get it out.

Here’s the video of the play in the joint.

Just shy of 17k. Not entirely sure if the struts are bad yet. About to inspect it myself when I get it back from the shop.

I had my NSX and Alfa 4c corner balanced at Arbormotion in Ann Arbor. Call them to make sure that they can do the car. They were hesitant to do alignment on my Supra because of the height sensors

Hey Tim, nice to see you on this board. Did know you have a Supra now. I picked mine up last year as well. Hope to see you sometime this summer at a nsx or supra meet.

Wow, a third. Did you have your supr worked on at precision motorsports? I just had them work on my Supra last week. Great place to work with.

Does anyone know how to set the ride height back to factory spec?

I’d like to get my ride heights set back to factory specs. I have an alignment sheet that apparently has ride height specs but am unsure what the measuring points are. Recommended heights are as follows:

Front: 23.98” to 24.76”
Rear: 23.46” to 24.25”
