i know s-techs dont lower ur car a lot, but would i be ok goin to a firestone, or tires plus with no front bumper, then i wouldnt have to worry about them scraping my lip or anything.

 

They wouldn't care and would align it.

The only problems i could see is with the police. Maybe take your bumper off in the parking lot, so you didn't get pulled over by a cop - if the cops are pretty strict where you're from. Otherwise, go ahead.

 

that is what I have to do when I go in to a shop (any shop around here). I only have one decent shop to go to that the guy will jack up my rear end and front end to put me on a lift.

As far as driving onto a ramp for an alignment I would either go with, removing the bumper, or if you know/trust the guys doing it then you can lay down some wooded planks to lessen the angle of traval up the ramps. It works :thumbup:
