Lowered Car Problems

[GordoSHO]

I am trying to get a 4-wheel alignment on my car and no one seems to want to touch it. Everyone shop that I talk to says that they have the machines set at OEM specs and the lowered car will throw it off. I have 3000 miles on the tires and they are looking fine. I had an alignment 2 months before the 17 inch rims, the lowering springs and struts. Is it possible that the alignment is ok? How can I get around this problem. I have called every service place in the town..josh shrug thumb

Your alignment is defintely not fine. Did you modify the strut towers when you put the lowering springs in? You have to drill out the bracket on the tower, pop it off and ream out the holes for the strut assembly enlongating them. That is the only way to gat a proper alignment on the car.
