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.

 

i need an alingnment too, but im almost tucking in the back:/

 

g&r on power inn... google it you need more info

 

dannyk20 told me about that place also, just didnt know too much about them. have you took your car there before?

 

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...

 

Well how low is your car? Post a pic.

 

1-2" clearance, MAX...

 

Holy slammed batman. lol.

 

soo does anyone know any other shops?

 

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?

 

bump for more input

 

goto GRs and try your luck, just try to avoid getting put on the "pit" or just pray they know what they are doing now...

Oooolllld pics of me on the rack.

 

nice pics......

HMMMMMMMMMMM.........let me go down there and check it out myself, I mite be teaching them something new.

 

C9A1L1L, so besides that "pit" did you even see any alignment machines when you went there?

 

this pit, is a mechanical alignment scale, its an old school type.

I had seen this thing back in mid and late 80s

 

bump for more input on alignment shops!

 

i went to one in elk grove ill get back to you on the name they got this new machine that does it plus my car is kinda low and he was able to get it up there

 

try G12

 

whats G12? location?

 

name and how much?

 

60 bucks and its called like Elk Grove tire and brake..

 

G12 alignment
3523 Kiessig ave
424-1700

 

bump for more shops. also is their any alignment technicians here on HT? TIA.

 

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.
