well i went to les schwab n they tried to get an alingment, but says my car was too low n couldn't get under it. needed to go to a shop that has the machine that can get under it. anyone ever had similar situation. i'm going to another shop n they say they can just do it manually if its too low. oh i have the tein s. its not the greatest but good for now till more $.

 

you just got to find a shop will take your lowered car.... we have a shop here that the lift is level to the ground, so its easy to load the car into the lift, cost a little more but it works..... good luck

 

Stop cutting your springs.


j/k

 

have the same springs and they did mine with no issues.

 

You have to find the right shop.

 

same thing happen to me!!! finally i went to sears and they did it with no problem .Yeah they had to put some playwood on the ramp so my car could get up there but they did it

 

They (That particular Les Schwab) werent looking for alternative ways to lift it if I understand what you are saying correctly. I pick them up from the subframe rails instead of the front control arms. I have done LOTS of Evo's and my personal car gets messed with at least 2 or 3 times a month. I also have one of the worst racks in the world to have to drive up on, I have coilovers and am lowered about 2.25" or so and still clear my 3" TBE just fine. Maybe they have other issues, but the LS I work at gets it done.

 

go to a les schwab that has a pit for alignment, not a drive up rack. My car with coils was SLAMMED and schwab could still do it.

 

thanks for the replys, but imma go to firestone, they said there hasn't been a car too low they couldn't get to. they've done lowriders before so my 2in drop in the front should be fine.

 

I had a slight prob take some boards out there to the shop or see if they have any and just make the ramp up the lift longer. there fore less steep thats what I did nd they had no problem with it. good luck

 

Firestone did my alignment and they didn't care i had aftermarket suspension.
They even gave me 6 month warranty on it.

 

i'd go to Cantrell Motorsports...they did a lotus elise that was really lowerd.

 

Omni Brake & Alignment in Kirkland have a pit (or pits?). Did a good job on my car, but its still stock.

 

^^ yeah i used these guys too and they were quite good .

 

If anyone needs a performance alignment in Portland, the Line Up Shop on 102nd and Halsey has been great to me over the years. The tire cups are actually set down in the ground so they can literally get anything on their rack. My other cars are always really low and they've gotten them all set up to my specs. Good 'ol mom and pop style which I like as well.
