Hi Guys,

I attended a lapping event with Touge this past weekend at Shannonville and was totally blown away by the performance of the 6th gen 1LE, note my car is 100% stock (tires, brakes, alignment, etc.)

Shannonville is a more technical/slow track compared to TMP and Mosport. So it was pretty brutal on tires. Nevertheless, turn in and grip was excellent.

I was wondering how much better it could've been if I had track alignment. Now do you guys have any suggestions for a good shop for alignment for the 6th gen?

I only know shops that specialise in JDM/German in Markham (Laidlaw area).
I reached out to Champion Motors and the quote I got was the highest I've ever seen/heard.

I'm new to the domestic scene so any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

Note: Within GTA pls (Toronto, Scarb, North York, Richmond Hill & Markham)

GM dealer can set Track alignment. But if you want it more than spec they charge a fee.
Dealer alignment is about $150 if I recall. I got mine done at new roads in Newmarket

Call Scott. Seriously. I drove from Oshawa to have my car aligned, and I promise you, guys drive further.

Setting up cars for the track (...and street/track) is what he does.

He set my C6 up for me, and it drove like a dream, and handled beautifully on the track.

Can't remember what he charged ..... I don't recall it being out of line.

Happy to hear your report of a good time had at Shannonville. It's a very fun track. No, it's nothing like Mosport, but I prefer it to TMP.

Got mine done at Barrie's Georgian GM. No issues getting 2.6F and 1.6R.
Can't recall the price but it was about $100+.
They have a new alignment rig there.
If you choose to go there ask for Tom in service as he knows my 1LE (white) and treats it like an exotic

I highly recommend these guys for alignment. http://www.apexmotoring.com/contact.php Amazing work and it has a ground level alignment machine.

I gotta ask: what do they do to make a simple alignment an "amazing work"?

Appreciate the responses. I may just go back to Champion Motors in this case, not really willing to drive 1 hour and pricing seems to be in line. I'll let you guys know how it goes once it's done.

noble performance around laidlaw area did mine, look for wilson, he tracks a lot and compete in cscs and stuff. I told him my car is mainly for track use and ask him to do the best settings for me, o boy did it make a difference i ran 1:20.092 at TMP
