    Default alignment shop for lowered civic

    need an alignment shop to align my wifes 92 EG 4 door, has skunk 2 "2.5" lowering springs and shocks on it, took it to a guy in oakwood and the printout off his rack states that the front left is -4 and right is -2.3, left is bad due to a ball joint that i have, just needs put in, he is claiming that he can't fix it, i should not have lowered it, it's going to scrape, blah blah blah...has 15x7's with 205/50/15's, i dont want it perfect, -1.5 would be great on the front and the back is good where it sits, just need the toe and camber taken care of in the front.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    well looks like i have an array of choices here, have not heard anything bad about either one yet, if arrow tire and alignment in gainesville does not work out i will go to the closest one i guess.

    While camber can play a roll in causing a pull, caster is usually the biggest cause of a pull. Camber pulls to the side that is more positive if they arent equal so im going to guess there is another cause for your pull. Do you have a camber kit?
