Do you have a camber kit installed?

How much is it lowered?

no i dont have a camber kit and its droped to the ground

Well there ya go, you need a camber kit.

If it is lowered that much, And you want to keep it that way, The kit might not get it to perfect specs but at least it will get you closer.

so if i get this they should be able to align it right

H22Luda720

SHOULD be able to, provided if the car is that low, the camber kit may only get it close to "aligned"

Also what exactly did the shop say? I'm pretty sure its because of the camber issue that they cant perform an alignment, but they may not even be able to get the car onto the alignment rack, And thats why they turned you away.

Either way you need to install a camber kit and go from there.

Edit: I wanted to add that if you install a camber kit, Which brings the top of the wheel outward, then you may run into the tire rubbing. Its your car but IMO having a car that low is not worth the headache and $$ to replace tires every month.

Good luck

yeah i have a skunk 2 coilover kit so i can raise it when needed. they were able to get it on the rack but they said something must be wrong with the frame because we cant get aligned. does skunk 2 make a good camber kit??

Most alignment shops won't deal with lowered cars no matter what the drop is (moderate or extreme).

You just have to do some asking to see what shops would specificallly deal with lowered vehicles (at least that's what I had to deal with on my car).
