96 accord, lowered 2.5" front and 2.25" back.

i went to 3 different tiresplus locations, and they said my car is too low and it won't make it onto the ramp.

this is bs. where you guys take your lowered car to get alignment?

butler tire does it but watch them when they drive your car onto the rack, my from bodykit on my spec V got fu-snaf'd on there, but you should be ok, just watch them.

sounds like they just didnt want to tear up your car. Butler in alpharetta will do it but they will probably charge u like 95 bucks. pm skinnyone he probably can hook you up. He works for kaufmann at np

Gran Turismo East is a kickass place for an alignment.

That's not normally the reason. The smaller tire shops won't warranty alignments on lowered vehicles. So they won't touch them. That way you can't come back in a day or so complaining that your it is offline. Later, QD.

I called 4 tiresplus in athens, among the 4, there is one place that can do it. they are old shop and they have lower ramp than the new shops (according to the tiresplus manager) i got the 3 year warranty special + oil change + balance and rotation for 109.99 www.tiresplus.com click on special.

Raceshops have the rack that works with uber low cars but i last took mine to the honda dealer (yeah, you believe that?), of course it's the only thing i'll ever let them do & might pay $10-15 more for a 4 wheel alignment but at least it's done right and they are familiar with the car. Got a few friends that work there too and still had to remove by front bumper but it was done by someone with tons of honda race experience (Joey Songer, MOG Honda)....now i just need adjustable UCA's to fix my -3° camber then go get it done again, lol.

Get some wood boards to help get it onto the ramps :goodjob: That is what a shop (ST Performance) in Savannah does.

I just talked to Tiresplus and as long as they can get it on the ramps they'll do the unlimited 3 year alignments for $110. Oh and that includes balancing rollers as well :goodjob:
