    Wheel Alignment / Corner Balance

    Hey guys,

    Just got my new adjustable suspension installed and I'd like to get the ride height fine-tuned, corner balanced and the wheels aligned before I take it in for certification. Can anyone recommend somewhere to go for corner balancing and alignment? Preferably one place that can do both well!

    Cheers

    Cheers, saw Ressa mentioned in searches but they all seemed to be a few years old. Autolign Albany pointed me to either Mt Wellington or to Wairau Alignment Centre so I'll follow those up, thanks guys

    Gave Ressa a call, should be seen to tomorrow, just need to fine-tune my ride height in the meantime, thanks all!

    Should say that Ressa was very easy to deal with over the phone and very friendly/accommodating at short notice!

    Mark Everett from Mt Roskill's Beaurepaires does a great job. Pretty sure jTune use to use them as well.
