Allignment after coilover install

I just put some JIC coilovers on and went to Firestone to get it aligned. They told me they could not do it because it wasnt the factory suspension. That they would need special tools. Is this BS or anyone else run into this problem? If so, where do you all reccomend me take it?

That is complete BS.......just take it to another shop.....theres gotta be one shop in your area that will do alignment on lowered cars.....alot of shops won't do alignments for lowered vehicles for many reasons....if you can't find one then I guess your out of luck I guess.....

Yeah you can. They may be worried about camber like most places were here in Louisville, but if u get someone who knows what they are doing then they can. The only thing they may not be able to do is align the rears. You actually have to bend the axil to get it aligned.
