to low everyone kept saying. I went to 3 places and with a front ground clearance of only about 2.5 inches on about a 3 inch drop, they said they couldnt get me into a bay. Finally I went to a goodyear and backed my car onto an alignment ramp. This also happened when I went for an alignment - I had to take off my front lip so they could get the eyes on the tires, also I had to go to a specialty shop. I guess thats the price you pay for rolling low... oh well,

just do the oil change yourself. You can change your oil with synthetic oil for about $20. Really easy to do.

i know what you are saying. i have had so many problems when i went to get my alignment because i was too low for all the places around here, so i had to go to a special shop downtown to get it done.

Do it yourself...

Its not hard, well the oil filter position is a bitch and I burn my self every ****ing time, but besides that, LOL.

But this way you dont worry about somebody messing it up, you know its being done right and getting the right name brand oil you chose, and you have the satisfation that you dont just pay people to work on YOUR car...

No one wants to work on my car when it needs to be lifted. My sideskirts are about 2 inches off the ground and everyone is afraid of fvcking them up so they refuse to lift my car.

The only place that does work on my car is the body shop that did my kit.... they have a special lift for low cars like corvettes and its the only place that does work if needed.

Everyone says "sorry, its too low and we dont want ot be held responsible for breaking anything"

Get used to it or find a shop that has the special lift

Work on it when the car is cold. Actually the filter position isnt really a bitch to get to. I have no problems whatsoever.

My backyard has a lil slant to it and I decided on the middle of the hill to dig a hole about 1 1/2 feet deep and do it like a trench I drive the car over and squeeze under no prob adn the hill help's let all the oil out too. the only prob in the winter the snow is too deep for my civic hahahhaa... <- that's just a joke anyways.

my car is pretty low too. i would recommend using wood blocks that are about 2" thick and pretty wide for the tires. place them under your 2 front wheels and move the car so the 2 front tires are ON the wood blocks. bricks work too. just be safe and try not to skirt on bricks lol. btw i change my oil in my driveway

is it that hard to raise your car? dont you have coilovers?

 
Rep Power: 310

each time coilovers are adjusted you need a wheel alignment/camber adjustment. would be pretty expensive to get an alignment every 2000 miles

ouch every 2000 i go in every 5000 to get my oil done with moble one

 
Rep Power: 320

Yeah no ****... I was thinking the EXACT same thing...

Plus then you have to jack it up before you go to get the wrenches in there to crank it up or down, then the headache of making the car level again...

just buy a ****ing floor jack. if it's not a low profile one then ride your car onto wooden blocks to get the bumper off the ground. seriously this is the most retarded problem i've ever heard.

i had the same problem in my town, the honda dealership here will not change oil in any lowered vehicles. but it wasnt hard to find a place to have my alignment done
