Anyone know a good suspension shop in SoCal?

Hey guys! Just got a new set of wheels put on and when I went to align it my right front is wayyy outta wack..

I have TC Kline D/A coils.

My toe/caster/camber.. everything is messed up.

I need to take it to a speciality shop that knows what they are doing. Anyone know a quality shop in SoCal (I'm in the Van Nuys area) that has experience with race suspension and things like that? Better even if they specialize in BMW's, but I'm not holding my breath haha..

Thank a bunch guys, the ride is killing me. Trying to get fixed ASAP.

Kind of far. But no place is better than west end alignment in Gardena.

Why couldn't the alignment shop you took it to get the car aligned? Did you just get the suspension installed? It did they not want to adjust the camber plates?

Highly recommend Lang Racing Development in OC! Andrew did a phenomenal job with my corner balance and alignment. He does great work.

The shop said they don't mess with camber plates and aftermarket suspensions.. i was pretty surprised as well that they would let me car leave like it is.. suspension has been on the car for 20k miles so no wasn't just installed.

Awesome thanks guys.. those are a little far and seeing how the car is driving i am looking for something a little closer.

Any one else know one a little closer?

I have been going to
B & E alignment
1005 W Holt Blvd, Ontario, CA 91762
Phone909) 986-6603

It is a small family owned shop that has been there since the 1950s
They are knowledgeable, honest and prices are fair
They will do an alignment to your specifications, or stock if you prefer

If you just need an alignment, you have many choices people just mentioned above.

If you need someone who is familiar with TCKR coilovers, installation and setup on E8x E9x, we probably know more than any other shop out there with the exception of TC Kline Racing.

Shoot us a PM or call if you have any specific questions.
