im looking for a shop in socal that will do an alignment on my car. i took it to superautobacs today thinking that they would be able to handle my car for sure. nope. they sent me home saying that 'they didnt know that i was lowered AND had a body kit.' lol.

trying to see darrin @ west end alignment but he is backed up on work. anyone else have any suggestions?

my car is on tein basics and i have full ms kit.

Wow this is good info to know. But not good for you. So they wont even look at your 8 cuz its got drop on it and the MS kit? lol How low is your drop? I'm looking at geting the Tein set up too

take your front bumper off. That's how I did my allignment, and my bumper is low. Glad to know we have the same issue. Did you go back to 18's?

just do the alingment yourself. it doesnt take very long. I use two strings hooked to the front license plate # attached to jackstands in the rear of the car. I always find it hard to trust other people doing alignments cuz they could just go "oh, its good" when its not.

i dont think i can do the alignment myself. i only have limited hand tools and limited knowledge lol.

my tein basics were set at the lowest setting when i first installed them b/c i figured id mess with the ride height later. currently the car is about 3" off the ground at the lowest point.

i am on stock wheels again.

yea, you are in a bit of a pickle there buddy. 19's would've given you a little added clearance.

i got an appointment with darrin@west end. stoked b/c he is probably the most well known chassis tuning/alignment guy in the socal area.

where the heck is west end? If you were in SD i would recommend Beeline Alignment in Pacific Beach. They have been there for like 45 years, so they definitley know what they are doing. They did an alignment on my 8 with rb springs and konis. They even will do things to your specs if you have them.
