Default Wheel Alignment after lowered.

Anyone that has their car lowered via springs or coils ever get an alignment from the "bigs"? ie. Midas, Brake Check, Firestone, NTB, etc.

I recently installed a camber kit and was looking at where to take it for a proper alignment, problem is, most of those places won't do any alignment if the suspension has been altered with or replaced with aftermarket parts such as springs or coils. They mainly do OEM alignments. Any suggestions on where I should take it to? Or what specific set of equipment I should be looking for?

Thanks ahead of time for your replies.

I waited til I put 250 miles on the new springs then took mine in to a local shop. They do great work and pricing was outstanding (only $70).

Did you check yelp? Might get lucky and find a good alignment guy at corporate shops. I remember I found a technician who worked at firestone who had the same car! Might get lucky and find another 3is owner!
