Default Need an Alignment...Anyone Recommend a Good Shop?

I've got a 96 LS Lowered on Neuspeed Sports (about 1.75" Drop) and I need an alignment.

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Niagara Region that could do it?
I've taken it to MufflerMan in the Falls and St.Catharines and they said it was too low.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

do it yourself there is no camber or caster on these cars and the toe is 0 all you have to do is make sure the wheels are strait and mesure the distatance at the front of the wheels and at the back if the measurment is different the adjust the tie rods on either side ;0)

You do not want your toe to be at 0 you want your front wheel facing in just a little bit, because as you start to move, the wheels pull out.

just an idea, but when i got mine done, to get on the alignment rack, i just removed the front lip. if yours is really low, try removing that first, maybe even remove the front bumper too more clearance.

mine is a 1.8" drop.

I got the car on the rack at both places but they said that they didn't have a clear line of sight from one side to the other. They didn't say what exactly was in the way or by how much and when I asked to see it on the rack, they had already taken it off.

i guess your best bet is to call ahead, and tell them your car is lowered first.

i even had my alignment done once at honda, and it was lowered then too.

by the way, before i brought mine in, i did the rear washer trick to correct my rear camber. do you have a rear camber kit on your car? maybe mention that, and get that adjustment done at same time.
