Hey guys, anybody know of any good shops that do alignments for lowered vehicles? I'm trying to find a shop in the greater sacramento area or somewhere close to that area.

There are 3 Brake Masters in Sacramento. Did a great job on my alignment and gave me a computer printout of before/after with the receipt

I don't think your car be aligned if it's lowered.

....that's why i need to find an alignment shop that specializes in lowered vehicles. I'm going to be installing dmax coilovers over the weekend and will be dropping my s14. I have all the suspension arms, provided by yamato garage (legit parts ;) ), needed to correct toe and camber. I know there are pretty good shops in the bay area, but I haven't found any local shops in sac that know what they're doing. That's why I'm wondering.

I was told that if you lower it more than 1.5" you can't align it anymore. Because it changes center gravity and double zero payload.

just dont do sears. My brother took his lowered sc300 in, did an alignment but said his inner tie rods were bent and told him to buy new ones and come back for another alignment as long as he doesnt go over 300 miles. I Took it in, employees remembered the car, said yes will do it, went home and recieved a call telling me they cant do it.

Drove back, manager told me they CAN NOT and WILL NOT do alignments on lowered car, but they had told me to replace it and bring it back free of charge. manager said they dont work on any car intended for racing BUT said that if we want the car aligned, he can get it done for $40. Walked out pissed as hell, got home, emailed bbb (better business bureau) and told them of what had happened.

A week later, sears calls and tells me to bring the car in for a free alignment. Went, manager was supposedly not there and got the car done. BBB ftmfw!!!

yea i definitely won't bring it to sears. I rather pay the extra cash to get my toe, caster, and camber dialed the way I want it. also, to find a reliable shops that knows more than just camber bolts.
