Wheel alignment on lowered car

[Silverstoned]

Can anyone recommend where I can take my car for an alignment? I've tried 3 places now (not the dealer) and no one can put it on their rack because it's too low. In case anyone isn't familiar with my car, it's got the FK 35/40 kit on it, so it's not crazy low, about 1-2 finger gap in both wheel wells.

Sounds silly - I have same kit and Fountain Tire did it for 65 bucks or so.

For $59.99 I would take my car to 5th ave to get aligned... that is if it didn't have to sit around all freaken day!

I didn't even get mine aligned after dropping it....I don't think its 100.00% necessary from what I have learned.

lol nismo get it done or pay the price.. i waited about 5000 after doing my drop and my tires were worn really funky.. get it done after about 500-1000

I was told by the dealer that there isn't much to align and that it typically does not need to be done unless you notice something wrong

Ya neither did I. I now believe that it is 100% necessary cause those 712 got chewed through FAST. and wore funny, now are loud.

Can harpers not align? I need to get one today after i get those 2 new tires mounted/balance :(

edit: Goin to cal-tire on barlow/20th. They can align lowered cars. Ill let ya know how much it cost for alignment when i get the car back

Re: Wheel alignment on lowered car

yea james when i did mine i had my old stock 17s and the rubber was worn at really bad angles.. once it did get aligned they rode funky.

Werd to that. Get it aligned or live with some shimmy and alot of tire noise.
