Good place to get an alignment in DFW?
I'm done getting this service from NTB, as they have no idea how to service a vehicle without a stock suspension. Problem is based on someone else I talked to (Davenport Motor Co), it is not possible to adjust the camber and toe settings on this car such that I can make any very significant impact on the tire wear issues I'm having (innermost part of the tire is getting completely worn after <20K miles).
Anyone know where I can take my car for an alignment that will really know exactly what to do and how to do it on a lowered IS350?
Thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT: If it was within 15 miles or so of Plano, that would be best.

buy used tires and deal with it lol. I honestly dont think its something that can ever go away but 20k is pretty good imo i wouldnt spend a bunch of money trying to do any better.

I'll probably call JPImportz since Jason over there installed my suspension in the first place and did a good job. I lost some faith in his shop after talking to a couple of the mechanics there, though... they were pretty misinformed about a couple things.

Which NTB are you using? Ive always had good luck at the grapevine store and their in-ground rack. Granted Brandon is gone, but I think AJ? is still there. For reference my car is rather low and I wish I could get 20k miles out of my rear tires. I also dont think Jason actually does the alignment himself, he takes it to a nearby tire/alignment shop since he doesnt have the equipment...altho this might have changed.
Ritz, do they have a lowered friendly rack at the carrollton store now? If so lemme know the guy's name for my next alignment.

Lexus Test Driver
I tried to get my car aligned at an NTB on Preston in Frisco after going to the one on 121 and Ohio who didnt want to do my car because their ram is really inclined so i went over to Frisco and they wanted 130 because of course the car is lowered and its called a specialty alignment but they called me later and informed me one of my lower ball joints has too much play in it and they were unable to align it due to that so im going to have to buy some new ball joints and replace them and hopefully get an alignment i dont know if i want to go back to an NTB since its pretty expensive, but i will check out another shop that my co workers recommended that work on lowered cars i guess ill let you guys know
