That's about right. Only a couple places around my area actually have a pit-style alignment center... My car can't make it up on all the other machines and my car is not extremely lowered.

get a lifetime, they are usually like 120-150. Then u can go whenever, especially if you have coilovers.

you cant raise your car to get an alingment and then lower it and be set....you know that right? every time you change the ride height it checnges the alignment

no ****, thats why i said get LIFETIME, so if you drive your car all year and raise it during the winter, you can get a new alignment, or if you are picky and change your ride height a lot.

wasnt my first post clear enough...

I meant, if you have coilovers, get lifetime, if you have a spring/strut combo, then just get a single.

While we are at it how low is too low?

And to make this post not a complete hi-jack I think just the 2 front wheels is like 45 and all 4 is 65 around here. Not 100% sure though.

I'd say about 60-80 is right for all 4 corners.

Why do you make this sound better than using a badass machine to do it like most evolved humans? Apparently it is cheaper than 'oldskool' as well!
