Can't get the damn car aligned
 

well after i dropped the car, the shop i took my car to told me that i have some camber problems ( DUH !). anyway i told them that i know about the problem, so i will get a camber kit and have them align the car again. still did not get the kits yet, but i wanna get them this week. anyway i asked everyshop in town to do the alignament afterwards and i get the: we don't have the specs for your car with that suspension. the only ones who wanted to do it was a honda dealer but they don't want to mess with the camber kits. instead they will bend the engine craddles, mounts and stuff to get the car under the correct camber. any other ideas or shops ? or what tools do i need to have it aligned by myself ? i really need some help here. my tires alre balder than a 70 year old's head ;)

damn..there are no specs for your car with that suspension....it is all computer controlled...ummm as for doing it yourself...i have never attempted to align a car myself...well i did....but i wont go there....it isn't fun...i spent 6 hrs trying to do it and got nowhere..it is a B1tch....well..i dont know what else to to tell ya...in my area...we have an alignment shop that specializes in altered height cars and trucks...so i never had the problem of shops sayin they can't/won't do it...sorry i cant be more of a help on this one

i've heard of doing it with a straight edge and a level. i really hate this.

Do you have a bridgestone/firestone around? I talked to my local firestone and they said they'd align a lowered car as long as it could roll up their lift.

yeah i have one, and that's one of the shops that told me they can't do it. i'll give it one more try.

What do they mean they dont have the specs! Just put it back to stock specs.. Thats what the camber kit is for..:crazy:

i almost yelled at them with that, but they still insist that there are no specs for modified caras

That's exactly why I hate most car places. They just don't have a clue. Sounds like its time for you to kick some ass :yes:

The camber specs for a modified car should be as close to if not exact what the stock specs are. Unless you have negative camber for a specific reason. In your case, whatever the stock camber setting is then thats what you want to try to get to. They probably just dont want to mess with it. Lazy people. They have the digital camber testers and everything. They just have to take the time.

Just slap them.;)

yeah i got my camber kit today but my tranny went out, so i'll wait and see if i wanna get rid of the car or not

swap! swap! swap! :D

money money money :D i think i'm gonna hang on to the broken thing till i get the h22

That sucks about your tranny :no: Good luck getting it fixed (or a new car :) )
