I get my car aligned all the time. You have to find a shop that specializes in alignments of dropped cars.

They can use wooden boards to get your car up there. They act like ramps. Most people go to places that specialize in lowered cars.

A lot of the shops out there have lifts..... I get my oil changed at a local Acura dealership but once i dropped it with the kit... the started using the lift..

so basically any good tire/tuner shop... post up in your local area forums and i'm sure ppl on the site will post up some places u could take your car to.

call around and ask first , if its REAL low a shop with a pit may be the best bet. And depending on how low it is and what kind of alignment machine it is you may have to remove your front bumper so the toe-bars on the front alingment heads can read across the front of your car. And if the say the charge more for lowered cars , go to another shop....... unless they are charging you to remove the bumper

you could call any respectable import store in your area, and ask if they know about places that do alignments on lowered cars. or maybe they do it...
