When I was getting the wifemobile aligned at NTB on Billingsley, they made the kid drive his own car on the ramp... and in the process he tore off and ran over his aftermarket front end. Looked to be a 5th gen hatch. Everyone in the waiting room got a good laugh as he threw what was left of the bumper in the car and drove off fast n' furious style.

On that note, I've heard Pep Boyzzzz on Morse can do alignments on lowered cars, but I'm not sure I'd trust em.

Bee-line did mine with a lowered susp. but it was $100!! Too much, IMO. I know the wife got hers done at NTB (not lowered) for $60. Best bet to call around and ask. Wait a minute...Reytito, aren't you the one that referred me to Bee-line a couple months ago??

My bad Titus, maybe it was LJ then. I know it was somebody on here. Anyway, all I know is, after everything was said and done, Beeline charged me $100 for the alignment. Cuz' I remember my jaw hurting after it dropped to the floor. I wasn't happy.

I'll check the receipt but I'm almost positive it was $100 for just the alignment. I didn't tell them to do anything else. Oh wait, I remember now...It was $60 for JUST THE FRONT! If you want FULL, it is another $40. Blah!

yeah, get your rears done, i didn't know my rear was off about 1/2 degree and it ate through two $110/peice tires.

Columbusracing.com highly reccomends bee-line, so it is obviously the best place in columbus

Hi guys,

I just intalled my eibach pro kit on my car. Do I need to do alignment for the rear side?

Thanks.

Hey. Anytime you modify your suspension components, it is recommended you get an alignment. You may also want to get a rear camber kit to prevent uneven tire wear but it may not be necessary since you went with the Pro Kit, which is a very mild 1" drop. Either way, get an alignment, but if you go with the rear camber kit, wait until that is installed BEFORE you get the alignment done. Hope that made sense. Wish someone woulda told me all that before I dropped my car. Live and learn, I guess.

How about if I change from standard wheel to custom wheel which is bigger than 15 inches wheels? Do I need alignment?

thanks.

I don't know cuz' I changed wheels, but kept with 15s. I would just get all that done first (suspension + wheels) and then go get an alignment afterwards. That way, you don't waste money.

Can we do alignment for the rear side since our rear stock cambers are not adjustable?

Thanks.
