    Default good, reputable alignment shop in ClayCo?

    i need a good alignment shop that can do an alignment on my lowered civic, its been lowered a good 3-4 inches all around.. so i need yalls help in finding a place to get an alignment


    EDIT: this is an old picture of my car but its still at the same height, i need an alignment shop ASAP to align the rear of my car because it wont go in a damn straight line, no joke either

    x2 they do great work, it's probably your toe, not camber but alignment fixes both!

    yeah i know they do excellent work, but the lady at the counter said that my car "may" be too low so i went around and found another place that did an excellent job for a very good price

    heard nothing, but the best about GTE. I plan on a good hour+ drive to get mine done when the time comes.

    You do realize that with the car being lowered that much, that about all you'll be able to do is set the toe without putting a camber kit on it.

    Autotech 314 Forest Pkwy. I can do an alignment, but all I'm going to be able to do is set the toe. There is nothing that can be done with the negative camber without a camber kit. You say the car won't go in a straight line; does it pull to one side, or does it go down the road sideways? You didn't wreck it or anything did you?

    all i want is the toe corrected, camber can be left as is... it can go in a straight line, its just really hard to keep it going in a straight line as the rear end swirves whenever i hit a slight bump. car has never been wrecked, i just recently put on SPC lca's and i know that they changed my rear toe as their shorter than stock

    who did it?
    oh and just IMO never listen to "the lady at the counter" if they arent working on your car, they probably dont know wtf they're talking bout lol... there is no such thing as too low. they have all diff kinds of camber and toes kits for those kinds of issues
