Hey guys.

Well i just lowered my car this past week and i need to get an alignment but no one will even attempt to do an alignment on a lowered car. Can anyone recommend a place that will do an alignment on a lowered car?

Thanks

yep, alignment can be done, although you gotta ignore the camber, unless you got the camber kits all around.

Yea i know i can do an alignment, just most places won't even attempt to on a lowered car when i fully know it fits on the the ramp without scraping. so i was wondering if there were any other places around my area or do i have to go argue with the other guys.

we have the new alignment machine with the low ramps, my car makes it over and you can ask eddie or bruno how low it is.

i dont see the problem with working with a lowered car however from experience make sure, you got:

1)camber kit
2)rear toe adjuster
3)front caster adjuster

these these are things i see that go wrong on slammed cars.

if you its not to slammed say maybe 1.0-1.75 inch drop then all you need is a camber kit really.

yea it's got a 1.75" drop on it. I got like 4 inch ground clearance on the front so it's not slammed. I went to buy a camber kit before i lowered it and i was told that with my car i might not need a camber kit because of the setup and it's not a big drop for the car. Im not sure so im gonna take it for an alignment and see what happens. I found a place that will do it near my place, i just gotta rip the front bumper off.
