Alignment shops in Sacramento
Does anyone know any good alignment shops that are experienced with aligning lowered cars with aftermarket (skunk2) front and rear camber kits? I've wasted money and time going to Big O tires and Les schwab just have them say "uhm, we got your car close to specs.. its cuz your car is lowered that we cant get it into the specs.." -_- AND my car is lowered a 1/2 inch in the rear and 1 inch in the front, there is still a gap between the fender and tire, so in other words my car isnt slammed or nothing in that nature. TIA.

Re: Alignment shops in Sacramento
I took it there and they fkd over my alignment HORRIBLE... My car is lower than most peoples so they couldn't get it on the lift and I had to go over to the other "table" styled one. The kid didn't know what he was doing. Well I take that back, he thought he did, then the other guy came out and kept telling him to do other stuff so he got confused and totally fkd it up, had my steering wheel off, camber all wrong.
Horrible experience, and that road to the shop is bumpy as hell. If your car is as low as mine, don't go there... But if you car is just "kinda" low then feel free to go and see if you results are any better...

Re: Alignment shops in Sacramento
This probably won't help much, but a few years back when I had my Eclipse (and I lived up the hill in El Dorado County), the only place I could find that could get it on the rack was the Big O in El Dorado Hills.
I just had them set the toe, since I didn't run a camber kit . . . but they did a good job. Most other places either had a "no lowered cars" policy or couldn't figure out how to get it on the rack.
There's gotta be somewhere in Sacramento, though. Maybe call some shops and ask?

Re: Alignment shops in Sacramento
haha ha.
it's all about less schwaab, main.
just pretend you gotta 4-wheelin pick up they don't care.
no seriously, they will work w/u if your set-up is clean. they won't install any parts except for theirs. And (on the record) won't do anything except stock settings. Oh and you'll pay $85 or so..

i think the word your looking for is "meng" not main.. lol
i think your best bet is to call around and ask the workers there if they are experienced with adjustable/aftermarket camber kits, im pretty sure someone there has a "fixed" up ride that is riding on a aftermarket camber kit of some sort. firestone gives a free alignment check, afterwords if no one is experienced with the set up they will look for someone to do it, thats what they did to me and they put my alignment into specs too. good luck.
