corner balance in bay area
 
Any recommendations for a good race shop to do corner balance. I know of Roger Krause in Castro valley. I don't think Motorsport techniques does this. Prefer east bay. Thx.

I used Roger Kraus last week on the BRZ. They did a good job and did both the corner balance and alignment in about two hours total.

I've been going there for at least ten years and they've always done great work.

Edge Motorsport in Dublin or Mountain View.

That's +1 for Roger Kraus. My friend just did his 240z there too but wanted to be sure they were familiar with our car first, not that they couldn't figure it out.

How much was it? If you don't mind, what were your final settings?

They initially quoted me around $350 but I ended up paying $250 because the work went really quick and smooth. I do have adjustable rear lower control arms and front camber plates but here are my final specs:

I am using these alignment specs as a baseline until I get to the track and get a chance to take tire temps.

Contact Tom at Competition Autowerks. He has a shop in San Ramon. Guy knows what he's doing and houses a few racecars at his shop.

+1 for Tom at competition autowerk in San Ramon. Don't let the location in the middle of nowhere on an abandoned Nike missile base fool you. His shop is the real deal and he maintains the cars for a lot of real racers (some famous) in the area. They do spec miatas all the way up to GT3 cup cars.
