nope never cause i know ur car is not 1" off the ground cause thats what it takes for it.
If it can't get up on the rack then they should have boards that are longer, thus making the car go up at the rack in diff angle

If you go to Sears, I know for SURE you will have NO clearance problems. NTB and Sears have a real low profile alignment machine. We have done PLENTY of lowered C5 Vettes that have no problem clearing the lift.
Dont let them sell you a camber kit.

Some places here in Cali have ramps that you can drive over. And they do the alignment in a "Pit." Similar to how jiffy lube does it.

Pit style is good because it can accomodate lowered cars better. But with your drop, I know you will not have any problems.
Pit style is not precise either.

Re: alignment issues (Migs)
From what I have heard is that getting the lowered car on the rack is not the problem.....
If the machine uses lasers to align everything up, the car might be too low for the lasers to get aa accurate reading or even be able to read anything at all....atleast thas what shops in my area have told me...

Re: alignment issues (supapoopa)
Kinda OT, but alignmet related...
I just did a rear disc converson....on the far front of teh trailing are that lil "arm" that connecte the end that looks to be adjustablt....well I unbolted that and its moved.....I'm pretty sure that will throw off my rear toe I'm guess...is this correct???
should this matter alot untillI get an alignment in early april after I get my struts installed??
