Where to get alignment, Southern NH

[eighteight325is]

Question for all you E30 owners in Southern NH and Northern MA. I just moved to Southern NH and am finishing up my suspension project and am going to need an alignment.

Anybody have an shop suggestions? I live in Pelham and work in Acton, MA so shops in either area are acceptable.

I'm close to the DW Highway and there is a Town Fair Tire right there so I was thinking of going there but I'm not sure if it would be better to take it to an independent shop with proven experience with old Bimmers.

Also, I put H&R Sports, Bilstein Sports and M3 offset bushings in the car which is going to impact camber/caster a bit...is that something an alignment shop is going to need to know about?

Thanks.

Any place with a modern alignment system will do?

Outside of replacing CAB's and/or switching to fancy adjustable strut mounts there isn't any way to adjust castor correct? My concern is I don't want some shop negating the additional castor created by the offset bushings in an attempt to bring it back to factory specs.

Just bring it a place that advertises doing alignments. Its not like it takes a BMW specific guy to do it. Ive got m3 cabs, didnt tell the guy about em, and my car drives like a dream.

As far as I know, the only adjustment that you can do is the toe on the front.

With my 2 e30's I just do it with a tape measure. Or if you want to get real techical you can use a couple of jigs with some string

Thanks man, that is basically what I am looking for. Hopefully my car will handle like a dream soon (or at least be back on the ground and off the jack stands :))

Anyone can set the toe on your car.. no worries. Take it anywhere...

Huh, I hadn't realized that TMS did service. They are pretty close by and I'll keep that in mind down the road for a track inspection, but I think if toe is the only adjustment that can be made I'll just bring it to my local tire place. I need to have different tires mounted and balanced anyway.

I'm going to employ the tape measure trick to get the toe-in set as close as I can but I'll let the experts really dial it in.

Thanks for the info guys.

all the people at TMS are great guys... they have helped out on my car several times when my engineering out classed my fabrication skills... they will do anything to a bmw/mini for the right price and were actually the last ones to align my car if i remember correctly
