Hi Guys, I'll be putting new tyres on my car in the new year so I was hoping someone could recommend a good place for a wheel alignment? I have a set of shims so I just need someone who knows what they're doing do the job. I hate the thought of someone practicing on my car! LOL. Thanks, Bob.
Ferrari Maserati Sydney offer a discounted 4-wheel alignment for FCA members. Worth calling for a quote. They have a new high-tech machine and apparently do a good job.
Thanks Ian, I appreciate the feedback but I must admit the thought of their price does scare me but I'm due for a pleasant surprise. I'll follow them up in the new year. Bob.
Bob, remember to do an alignment properly the car needs to have a full tank of fuel,plus wight of two passengers(Real or substituted!)as per the owners manual! Few places/owners do this but it is crucial to get the specs. right. My tyre/wheel guys in Melbourne knew this when I upgraded my 308QV to 16" wheels and commented few owners/tyre places do it..... P
Yes, would be interesting. When Phil did my car I sat in the drivers seat and he put 50kg of lead in the passengers seat to represent Judy. I told him he needed a few extra kilos.
Carl's wheel alignment machine shows live readings...did you happen to jump out to see what difference it made?? p.s. that might get back to Judy
The other alternative is Heasmans Steering & suspension, They do a very good job. You may want to compare prices They have done more Ferraris than the current dealer.

Don't know yet........ 55 series Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's are made in Taiwan. Can't bring myself to put Taiwanese tyres on my Ferrari. Any suggestions? Bob.
Yes they are but they are simply not as good as the Japanese version of the same tyre. I'm sure for similar money (approx. $250.00) per corner there are better tyres out there. Bob.
Bob, I took my car to FMS Sydney, $180 (FCA Special) and the car felt very good. Going back again as the diff is back in for the rear.
4 Wheels Bob, and if you give them your VIN No. they will see if your free updates have been installed. I don't explain updates well, but Ian B will.

Why don't you contact Sal of Racing Red, Marrickville for advice. I'm sure he will assist you as he has worked with the best. And make sure they stand the Concours originality test. Those judges can be awfully pedantic and picky when they want to be !!!
