Default Going out of alignment

Hello, I recently installed some HKS Hipermax coilovers on my 05 Ap2. After a few weeks to let them settle I took it to Butler Tire to have them do an alignment. At first It was great. A week or two later I noticed the steering wheel cocked to the right. I took it back and they straightened it. Two weeks later, I noticed it cocked to the right again!! I really don't want to keep going to Butler Tire as they are A$$holes and it takes forever! Any ideas of what the problem could be? Thanks!

Okay. Negcamber asked if I could help. I am going to try. First off are you slammed to hell? If so how is the angle of your steering rack? Do you have a bumpsteer kit in to correct this? If so are all the bolts tight? Is your alignment guy using hunter? ( is the tower and computer red? ) if he is mAke sure that he aligns your steering wheel with WinAlign. You say he takes a long time. Does he know what he is doing on a lowered car? I have been aligning s2ks for about three years, almost every align is done under an hour. Even picky customers like Negcamber himself. lol. I do hope this helps.

Go to gran tourismo east. They are by far the best alignment shop in the Atlanta area. The guys at GTE are easy to deal with and will let you know if they can't align it for some reason. Tell them that Jim with the Red s2k sent ya, if you need directions you're welcome to PM me.
