Thanks once again to Cobb! They have a very nice EagleEye Hunter laser alignment rack and got me dialed in to the exact custom spec I requested; very quickly too I'll add. Gotta love getting a full custom performance laser alignment for cheaper than what any of the big chains charge for a "within factory spec" alignment. They also look insane care not to scrap the front bumper on the ramps or the rack.

I wasn't looking there.

I used the bfh to move my coilover when doing alignments.... without jacking the car up, there's not a good way to get enough leverage to move the strut. You'll either use a big screwdriver/pry bar or a bfh to move it. Personally I don't see anything that's that big a deal on yours... I think you're nitpicking unless your car is going to SEMA (and with tein's it's not).

So you are telling me it they hit your car and other parts with a hammer you would be okay with it? I already had to repair my paint on the car. Maybe it is just me.
My car punted cones and mowed the lawn at MSR & ECR (among other tracks). I dang sure wasn't worried about a couple small scratches on coilovers that were adjusted monthly. It *is* only a car.

You'd likely cry if you did this to your car (watch to the end):

That doesn't bother me. I didn't pay for someone not to do that to my car, I did it myself or would have given the displayed skills.
