Can't get Alignment??
 
Wel i take my car down to Just tires to get my alignment done since it's been likea week since i got car lowered. But then after a freakin 2 hr wait they come and tell me they can't do an alignment on my car?? The car won't go up the ramp cuz my exhaust pipe is hitting!?! :madfawk:

So anyone kno anywhere in the irvine 949 area where they can do alignments on my lowered car?? TIA

I had to use 2 x 8 's and stager them till it would go up on the ramp. My tow hooks and frame kept hitting the inside edge of the ramps.

i'm crazy low. the only place i found to do it was gary's alignment or something in fullerton. i'd have to search again for it, but i can if you want. although, i'm not sure of how well they did it.

Uhh WTF. At school we have 2 brand new Hunter Alignment Machines, the middle of them are basically open, meaning no tow hooks or exhaust would ever hit anything. They consist of 2 long tracks that are moveable depending on how wide the car is. The ramps are not steep at all. I bet if you shoved some 2x4s under the ramps that you could get nearly anything up them. So basically, if you found a shop with a new machine you would be good to go. Screw the old shitty machines.
