Default Alignment after lowering on springs

So 2 weeks ago I had installed RsR springs along with 20" Vossen VFS2...great! As of now none of the alignment shops that I have gone in Miami had their Hunter alignment machines showing up the RC on their system. Have anyone been able to get a hold on the alignment specs for these cars?

Nope, none of the local shops here in So Cali had them either so I ended up just coughing up the $$ at the dealer after I lowered mine.

I was able to get it done at a shop here in SoCal last week. I'll post the alignment sheet up when I get a chance

Why not just take it to the dealership. Price can't be much more than an indy shop.

Well the stealership usually charges an hourly labor rate + the job , which is usually higher than any reputable alignment shop in Miami ie: The alignment factory or Apex. The stealership will be my last resort lol.

I called the dealer and asked the shop for the specs. They were more than willing to share them. Although they were a little puzzled as to why a brand new RC needed an alignment. Heh,heh,heh
I went through the same thing with getting my after market TPMS sensors paired with the ECU after mounting my Vossens. No one has the 2015 software update showing our RC except for Lexus for now.
