Perch Mod Discussion

[LSURaptor]

Soutwest Alignment on Richmond in between Dunvale and Fondren. Ask for Isreal. he works out of the back right bay. It's not as cheap ($345) as what I see some people paying but I don't have the time or tools to **** with it at the house and those guys have always done a great job on my other cars. You'll have to leave it with him for a couple of hours so plan on having a ride lined up unless you just like sitting around there.

I'm sure there are other places that will do it but I don't know of any off the top of my head. He's done mine twice now and the wheels haven't fallen off so I assume he knows what he's doing! I printed out the instructions from SDHQ for him.

If you are only going to mid perch, you could attempt it yourself with rented spring compressors but I wasn't that brave. Those springs are thick as hell.

Thanks Man, I will let them do it. I wouldn't even consider doing it myself. I am too old, and too fat and frankly, too ignorant to know how

Agreed, IMO mid is much more comfortable than top. Too bad it doesn't play nicely with 37s.

I'm going back to mid and getting rid of negative offset wheels... Too many issues with this setup (bearings/hub/cv joints).

(damn it birdman was right again)

Catch up with me on Saturday before the game and you can take mine for a spin. I should be parked in rougly the same spot...

I would like to go to mid perch right way. I check with the local 4wheelparts store and they dont do the perch adjustment anymore. They said it is too much of a liability. Oh well. Any suggestions in the Houston market to get that done? I assume the dealer can do it if worse come to worse.

If you're in Houston, give EVS Motors a call.

Austin Mid Perch / Alignment Recommendation

Ok, so I'm getting ready to move in to my new home and first thing on the list after that is getting my mid perch and alignment / camber kit done..

Anyone have any places they have used or know that are reputable in this area? I've only been here a couple months so don't know any shops that I trust and would take an FRF recommendation before an anonymous Internet review.

Thanks in advance.
