My car is lowered about 1.5" and I get it aligned at NTB all the time with no hassle...

If they are hassling you about it being too low, you can try taking it to a Chevy dealer... Now bear with me on this one, because I am not joking here...

Chevy dealers all have alignment racks that are designed to handle really low cars because they sell and therefore have to service Corvettes. My friend used to have an AWD eagle talon that was way too low, and the Chevy dealer was the only place that he could take it.

On a side note... With your car 2.2" lowered, your car will be out of camber spec no matter what you do unless you get a camber kit. No alignment place will be able to get it within factory spec without a camber kit installed on at least the rear... But go for the alignment anyway ASAP so they can at least correct the toe settings.

Pep Boys and your Honda dealer. IF either one has a BEAN Visualiner of the new variety they can do it as it is a lift type machine. You can offer to bring a pair of wood rams 2"x10"36" along to get the car on for them. Or find an old fashioned truck alignment place that does cars, trucks and school buses. Some have computerized machines but use a PIT to do the work so there is no lift. So far I have had NO problems with the first 2 and both cars are lowered enough to have problems with the older alignment machines at NTB here. Prepare to spend as much as $79 for a 4-wheel alignment.

my car is 2" lowered and NTB does it for me. They even ask me to drive it up on the ramp because they are afraid to
