Toooo low for an alignment?!
Toooo low for an alignment?!
Any idea what shops will take low cars??? I'm in Florida sooo maybe this should be in the Florida page but idk. I know tire kingdom and tuffy tires won't.
Any suggestions?

Yeah thats what sucks about tweaking your suspension too much. Sometimes it can't be aligned. I used to have a Nissan xterra with a 6" lift, and I had sick positive camber. It would eat up my Super Swampers in like 2 months. LOL.
they CAN align the front only on the fits. but only the Toe (+/-) unless you have camber adjust. not all places will adjust that. i have a Firestone lifetime alignment $150. they get the job done but i help them get the car on the lift.
i don't know if there are any Firestone's outside of Cali, but if so that's a good deal

Yeah, Firestone's are mostly nationwide - although some are individually owned and may not offer lifetime alignments. I've got one with a place that's only about 30 minutes away, I duck up there a couple times a year to keep things in check. Cost me $130.

I actually have a firestone like ten mins from me.... That was actually the only place I didn't stop at today. Was on my lunch from work when I went looking around! I will deff check them out and a buddy was telling me the same thing about the $150 lifetime! Hopefully my firestone is down with letting me drive mine up like yours. As for the calling places they all said they have to see it because when I say I scrape everything they think I'm joking or something.
Another option is to take it to a bodyshop that does frame straightening, they will put your fit on the "frame rack", I see them doing wheel alignments on slammed cars all the time. check your yellow pages for wheel alignment they often advertise there.

wow thats prety good info, i had a slammed car before and i couldn't get it alligned ANYWHERE
Guess I'm gonna have to try this Tuesday because I got turned away from kingdom tires as well today:( I also stopped by a little local car meet and found out about some place all the other low Honda doods go too... Hopefully it works out.
I am having the same trouble and mine really isn't that low! I have been to three or four places and they just go out front look at it and go " Nope, no way in hell" Grrrrrr..... Ray, where do you get your alignments? If your car was any lower you would have to call Miss Utility before backing out of your driveway! LOL
well just realized one of my old buddies works at sears and he said we will put it up on wood or something to get it on after work hours..... unless ray responds back to this your best chance is looking in the yellow pages and finding a custom shop that will do it or find a friend that will do it? idk.

remove your bumper and that should give you enough clearance to get on the ramp, use 2x4's if that doesn't give you enough clearance. your other option is to find an alignment shop with a pit instead of a lift.
