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

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.

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

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.
