Lowered car alignment shops in the 909?

Okay, I go to Discount Tire Center over here in Rancho every 5k miles (3 year alignment policy) to get my alignment done. These guys ALWAYS give me a hard time when I go there because my car is lowered. I went there last week to get my alignment done and now i have positive camber which caused my GL's to rub. To top it off, I put my 15" steelies on and THEY STILL RUB. Anyway, like the title says, does anyone know of any lowered car alignment shops around here or even in the OC? I hate being hassled everytime just to get an alignment. Thanks.

ACE Muffler in Westminster does alignment I think.
Alot of fixed up cars are there so I'm sure they could work on yours.

I dont trust lifetime alignments cuz i bet they do a crappy job. I forgot the name of it but its in Monterey Park. They do slammed cars!! No problems goin on the ramp cuz the ramp is flat and they work underground. They dont use computerized alignment its all hand done with chalk and that leveling buble which is the best and accurate way to do a real alignment. I'll give you the addy when i find the business card.......

Try this, its underground alignment that uses bubble level. You can be slammed and they will do it no problems. I highly recommend this place...........

Even though my steelies are only 15" as compared to the 17" GL's, the tire size on the steelies (195-60-15) and the tire size on the 17's (205/40/17) makes the ride height almost identical. I switched to the 15's because their offset and width allows them to go into the wheel well more. The problem I had with the last alignment by Discount Tire Center was that the worker put positive camber on my rear passenger tire.
