Default alignment problems. please help!!

hey guys...i just lowered my integra like 2 weeks ago and i need to get it aligned. the inside of the front passenger side tire is wore down to the metal wires and it pulls to the right when i let go of the wheel. i have tried to have it aligned but every shop tells me its too low or they cant do it because they cant get the jack under it. so i have a couple of questions...

1) is it the toe adjustment that is off to cause it to pull to the right and wear only the right side tire? the camber isnt hurting it as bad but im almost positive its the toe.

2) if i raise it up some to get it on the lift at the shops, can i lower it back down without hurting the toe adjustment? (i didnt think it would hurt it but alot of people said it will throw it right back off once i lower it back down)

3) not that it really helps...lol but did you all have alot of problems getting your slammed cars aligned?

thanks guys. i just need this fixed ASAP for the simple reason that import alliance is like 4 days away!!! i cant drive my car 5 hours if its not aligned. lol

1. Yes it is the toe that is off.

2. No you cannot. Toe changes with every ride height change. You have to get it aligned after every ride height adjustment.

3. You just need to find a shop that can handle lowered cars. They will either have a pit with no ramps, or a long ramp that even the lowest cars can get up on.
