Well he said I'm too low because of the sensors. I guess they mount to the tires instead of the lip of the wheel, and the gap between the bumper and tire is too small to get the arm through, I suppose.

Hmm, I guess I will ask the local Tires Plus. Thanks guys!

Our sensors mount to the tires. I'm talking to my manager about getting the rim mounts. Here's a picture for reference. If there's no fender gap, I can't roll the car forward to compensate the sensors.

Yup makes perfect sense. And Ray was honest about it, not just trying to make a buck. So hats off to him.

Thanks homie. Sorry I had you drive there only to tell you I couldn't do it. If I had remembered you saying you lowered it more I would have to you I couldn't do the alignment.

Anybody have a preference for a machine shop? I'm currently getting work done at Precision Machine Service INC and I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

No worries man. It was nice to at least take it out. Even if it does rub in a straight line.

I think I found a way to do your alignment but you would have to meet me at Coggin Nissan on Atlantic. I'll text when I know for sure it'll be ok to do that.
