    Question Alignment on Lowered Car

    Does anyone have any idea who will do an alignment on a lowered vehicle?? Everywhere I call says they can't do it because they go by stock factory specs.

    Also, how much would it cost to have a camber kit installed on the front of my car?? Its a 98 Integra.

    Thanks,

    Al

    If they like to go by their so called "stock" specs, then give them your own "stock"specs and have them match it. Besides, I have no idea what that guy is soo worried about...Hondas can only adjust toe. So what if your camber becomes more nagative....you should expect that anyways from lowering it. It will benifit you for handling at the same time. Its none of those aligners concern.

    PLace I used to work at didnt do alignment on lowering because they claimed stock specs and I believe they couldn't get the lowered cars on the alighnment rack since they were already using custom ramps and wood to get normal cars on it. I heard T&T Honda does them

    prolly most of them would. its easy process really, if they can change ur struts, they can put new springs in when putting stuff in. so any place that does shocks will be able to do it. i would recomend checking harpers tire, i been dealing with them for a while, really good stuff and honest ppl

    nmack - I'd wait a couple days after your install before the alignment...just to break things in a little bit and settle.
    Speedtech did the installation of my coilovers + bushings, and Alvin Automotive did my camber + alignment...I'd recommend both places.
