Sphon Coil over kits

First off, Does anyone know a good place to get my full suspension adjusted/tuned in the NY long island area? I put a full, sphon coil over kit, front and rear in my car. Fully tubular front K-member, with adjustable lower control arms.
I want to get the car scaled, and have the alighnment done, and get the car corner ballanced to take REAL advantage of the coil-overs.

Call local chassis fab shops, they can set you up, or a local speed shop and ask for recommendations.

Re: Sphon Coil over kits

Our local guy I take all the cars I build for alignments for full adjustable suspension adjustments runs me $2-300 for doing rod ended everything in a thirdgen from front to back. Front a-arms, caster/camber plates, tie rods, etc etc then the rear setup and checking thrust angle to make all 4 wheels roll in the same plane on the chassis. Then for corner scaling there's a guy with scales that will show up at a shop for another $250 and help you adjust all the coilovers for proper weight on each tire for drag racing or road racing. The driver of the vehicle needs to be in the drivers seat along with typical, fuel and other weight in the car.

Re: Sphon Coil over kits

Oh that is more then reasonable. I guess the trick now is finding a reprritable place. Ive been doing stock alighnments for years. I just want someone that has race alignment experience. The car is mostly road course built, but it is streat legal, and is driven on the road often.
