Default Slight problem..

Hi, I'm trying to find a place around Tacoma area that can align lowered cars. I have tried Firestone of Lakewood but my car was not able to go up their alignment machine even with the bumper off

If your lowered aprox 2" ...this is true. Toe is tied into the camber adjustment though as far as changing one and it effects the other, so depending on where your toe or camber is set, there can be a compromise. When your lowered you run out of flexibility. Though I have found the compromise to be in tire longevity, not performance per say.
