Default Corner Weighting

Well after over a year and a half of working on my 89, it's almost done. Once the wiring and interior are sorted out, I'll be sure to post pictures in another thread here.

In the next few weeks I should be done, and it's going to be time for corner weighting and an alignment. I know about Phoenix performance in PA. That's a bit of a drive from where I am, so I was wondering if there was anyone else closer to SE VA. I would prefer someone that you guys have used before and trust. I'm not big on hearsay after what I just went through with a tune with a local company in VA Beach.

If it comes to it, I'll drive to PA and have Phoenix do it, but for sake of 2 days worth of leave, I'd like to just trailer it somewhere local.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Hope to see you guys on the track March-ish.

Try Piper Motorsports in Sterling, VA. http://www.pipermotorsport.com/ They have worked on my vette and quite a few other cars in the area. They offer everything from full cages to alignments and corner weighting. Talk to Robbie to get an estimate or get a time slot scheduled.

morning bump. I almost used that shop youre referring to, and then found out about all the negative experiences

There are a few race shops in the vabeach area, but I have yet to see any reviews on them.

You might get better feedback if you start another thread specifically asking for feedback on Piper. I know of several folks that have used them with good results.
