sprints + kyb agx = dealer couldn't do alignment
ok after few weeks of waiting for my springs to setlle down i finally decided to get it aligned - with discount cupon in my hand i went to the dealer
-they sweated all over the car and finally said - it could not be done due to vehicle being lowered - something about their aligment computer wouldn't do it and eyes didn't line up
my felling were all mixed up especially after one of those guys said
" he should never bring this lowrider here"
anyway - i grabbed my keys - didn't pay dime and left
does anybody know good shop in chicago land area that will align my car
any info would be greatly appreciated

actually it's not bs.
I had the same problem for 4 shops locally. It depends on how they're system is set up. On my sprints, the lip dropped to far so that it blocked the 2 sensors that they use.
I ended up going to a goodyear service center and paid 70 bucks

a mechanic friend of mine works there, he said he could do it, but would scratch the rim, oh well, any other shops?

I didn't want to deal with their warranty crap.

I have lifetime wheel alignments for all my cars. I paid $100-$125 for each car through the years, but I think it's by far worth it. Ask you Goodyear or Bridgestone tire shop. I get the cars realigned every year or under special circumstance (ie. lowering, change of suspension component, really bad dip in the road while the wheel is turned). I figure a computerized wheel alignment runs about $50...my Maxima has had 5 alignments in the last 8 months.
1st time) after I installed my AGX's
2nd time) I was cut off and swerved to a curb at 20 MPH...offset my steering.
3rd time) after I installed the Stillen Camber plates
4th time) after I did some major drifting in the rain
5th time) after I hit a bad dip while making a right turn at 25 MPH
