Default Dealer won't do alignment

Went to the local Toyota dealer this afternoon to get an alignment done on my 2IS. It's lowered on BCR Coilovers still on stock wheels.. anyways they said they can't touch the rear cause I need camber bolts for the rear from Lexus.. soo guess this gives me a reason to get the Megan camber kit. Has this happen to anyone else?

tell them to adjust the toe. you should be able to get it close to stock specs even if its dropped.

You can't adjust camber on the 2IS (only toe). How low are you lowered? If you're slammed, you'll need the Megan rear camber kit.

Find a shop experienced in modded cars such as yours, much preferred over dealers svc.

If you're in the ATL metro area, go to Gran Turismo East in Chamblee for alignment. It's not the cheapest, but they really know their stuff and will set up the car for the way you drive. I had them do my F and my Supra (they did the Supra with me in the driver's seat to make sure everything was right under load), and both cars drive perfectly and wear tires predictably.
