Looking for a good suspension shop around Southeast Virginia

FairladyZ12 · 11-28-2018, 06:36 PM

Does anyone know of a good Suspension shop around the southeast Virginia area? I am located in Roanoke VA and am having some handling issues after having Z1 Upper control arms and new Rear tires installed on my Lowered Z. I usually just use my local dealer for service and alignments but they can't seem to get the car setup correctly this time. I am trying to find a shop that is more equipped and experienced. If anyone is from around the area and knows of a good shop let me know. Thanks!

What kind of issues you having?

Need some details on your tires, alignment numbers, suspension pieces.

Hey Guys, sorry for the late reply. I am currently running H&R Springs, SPC Rear Camber Arms and Z1 front upper control arms. I just replaced my rear tires with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires and the fronts are still cheap crappy all seasons the previous owner put on. I started having the handling issues after the Z1 FUCA install. The car feels floaty in the rear at times, but has gotten better over the last couple of days. Below are my alignment specs. I am wondering if the amount of toe I have in the rear is a problem? Also the first thing I am going to try is replacing the front tires with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 as well to get matching tread patterns and depth.

Oops knew I forgot something. The tire sizes are stock sport sizes.
