    I am going to install my SPC UCAs this week and need a shop that understands aftermarket UCAs. Thanks for any advise.

    Let’s just say if I was going to a shop I would go to advanced performance tire and wheel.
    http://advanceperformance.com/
    We coat a lot of wheels for them.
    I trust them!
    And I had my alignment done there. Stock UCAs.

    Also they do a lot of high end stuff. And the only place I know that has a $30k mounting machine.

    Huh, this may have come just in time, I NEED and alignment and I may have to go to Tampa tomorrow.

    What do they charge? I feel like a shop that can justify a 30k machine for mounting knows their worth and charges appropriately expensively.

    Well my boss does powdercoating for them. So they charged me $100 for dismount, mount and balance. And I think he charged me 50-75 for alignment. that’s for me. Shit he might just made it sound like a good deal and charged the regular price lol. They didnt buy the cheap machine and put tires on that the machine as problems doing like most shops.

    Ended up not having to go to Tampa, went to Ideal Service Center in Kissimmee, Sean did my alignment to my request, 0 camber 0 toe +2.5deg caster. Truck drive straight and coasts smooth. $65 OTD

    Time to tack weld them cam bitches down for permanent alignment, tired of paying for an alignment every time I go play in the dirt. Never had this issue with my 1st gen.
