JIC/Cross Headquarters in Alhambra with pics

aus · 12-29-2009, 05:03 PM

I got my Cross kit for the M3 installed at the Cross headquarters in Alhambra and thought it's a place worth sharing if you need something installed or for an alignment done by hand!! The lead tech is Bryan and he's worked on race teams and said they all did their alignments this way. I was wondering why they didn't have an alignement rack. It does take a couple hours. They also do exhausts and build race cars there. He recently completely gutted a Mitsu EVO down to the frame so they could acid dip it to strip all the paint to try to save some weight. It's pretty amazing since he pretty much does all the work. I thought I'd post here too since the M3 guys had no idea they were in Alhambra now and that they now have a shop.

Here are some of their cars.

The owner's 997 TT with about 600 WHP:

Love the 997 and the GT-R. Both look amazing...

Nice! Are they pricey?

I got charged $80/hr, which is less than a lot of independent BMW shops.

What do you mean by that? Are you talking about the "string" method? If so, that's how I do my own alignment too. It is a time consuming process though.

I think that's how they do it. There's no alignment rach there but they do the full alignment and corner balancing there.
