    Hey guys I just installed coilovers and was curious as to where some of you guys with low cars get your alignment done? I'm located in Clearfield/West Point, so any places around here or maybe even Ogden would be great thanks!

    I'm slammed on a tight suspension. In my 85 I'm running 190/40/16 Yokohama S drives and Russ has them wearing perfect.

    Exactly what I wanted to hear! thanks man! kind of out of the way, but I just read some more reviews and it seems to be a good place. I'm just wanting to tuck my stock wheels for now. I'll be checking it out here in a few days. Appreciate it!

    Russ' alignment is amazing but the waiting period is outrageous. If you need it done fast and can't wait I'd go to the Les Schwab on 5400 South and 32oo west. They have a pull in alignment pit and a specialist named Pablo that specializes in lowered cars. he's done mine twice with amazing success both times. That location is the only one that will do lowered cars though.

    Appreciate the responses guys! I might have to check out Ogden this time around since I want it done before the weekend and it's only a few miles away. Thanks again!

    I have to agree and say Russ is awesome. All my cars have been dropped and I never had one problem with Russ. He even installed my control arms for just an hour labor

    Are you on base as well? I always see a mk5 Fahrenheit that is lowered at the MPF/Commissary Parking lot.

    I've had my car aligned at Russ's, and they did okay. They're usually a week out, so it's a bit of a hassle. TAS has done some work on my rabbit and Brent and the other guys there are top notch. TAS is the only place I would take my car if there was a job I couldn't handle on my own.
