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.

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!
