Can anyone suggest any good alignment shops who can work on lowered cars, preferably close to the Chandler area? I had an appointment with SOS but they just called saying there's something wrong with their alignment machine and could take weeks or even months to get fixed...

Thanks

 

If you can wait, that's where I'd go.

You'll also have the benefit of being able to have them look up any other members specs and shoot for a similar setup based on your driving.

 

If you plan on keeping the car, just go do the Firestone lifetime alignment.

 

And abuse the hell out of it.

 

^ the Firestone plan or the car?

If you are tracking the car, or if being totally precise is something you want, go see Wade.

There's something to be said about everything being spot on and the confidence you get when driving the piss out of the car.

 

Actually funny story, the first time I took a car for alignment was to a Firestone, it was a lowered Civic and the dude tells me after like 30 minutes of waiting that he can't do an alignment because he doesn't know what specs to align it to, then he says, no joke, "that's why people who lower cars have engineers behind them to handle all that". I asked if he knew any shops who could do it and he says no one will align a lowered car. Needless to say I've never gone to a Firestone for anything since.

I probably will just take sse2k's suggestion to just wait for SOS, I won't be tracking it anytime soon but if I'm gonna do it, I'd rather do it right the first time right? I just hope it doesn't really take months.

 

Depends on the Firestone I guess. The one near where I live has a lot of employees with performance cars (they understand it's not just a car) and they do a pretty good job. I usually get aligned twice a month.

 

Twice a month? Who has time for that???

 

I have used Network Alignment and Brakes multiple times in Mesa, AZ and they always do a great job for me. My car is lowered and it's not a problem.

 

I've heard good things about Network Alignment.
