Default Need an alignment shop

So my car eats fresh s03's in about 4000 miles lol I need an alignment shop that doesnt charge me a gripload just because my car is lowered.

The last time I got my alignment was about a yr ago and they could not dial in the rear toe correctly to OEM specs. I was wondering if that was a common problem for our vehicles when lowered. My car absolutely eats up tires like no other.

+1 too. I need to find a shop that can do the alignment on my car too. The NTB couldn't do it because of my apr front splitter....they couldn't bring it on the ram

The alignment shop know our car factory-spec and they will alignment to the factory spec unless you tell them to do the spec that you desired.

I doubt you'll be able to get your car on any rack then, you may have to take off your front lip/bumper. I suggest NTB, Autoscope or Ruf if you have the cash.

Courtesy Nissan actually has a nice new machine that they have installed to allow low vehicles to get on it.. Thats where I got mine done last time. I might be installing a anti bump steering kit before I get my alignment done again.

That's exactly what i need. I have the dealer discount with them....wondering if they will give me the same discount as i buy the parts from them. I just can't recounted how much $$$ i spent on parts from them when i did the RB20DET swap

The NTB off Campbell (I think) has a ramp that you can drive up on. My car is lowered about an inch and they got it up fine.
