Hey everyone, im looking for a good local allignment shop. I drive a 2008 civic si that is pretty low. Last summer it was barely able to make it up onto the rack. I adjusted my coilovers for this summer and made it a little lower…so i was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that could handle a lowered car. I heard from somewhere that some places have a drive on allignment machine and there is no need to go up onto a rack…is that true? And if so are there any around here? Thanks guys! ---

Watkins Spring on Central Ave east of Everett Rd will align a car with modded suspension, they did my 02 Si on Mugen SS last year. I don’t know about their height limitations though, mine is only dropped about an inch a half. ---

> [@McBitchin"](#): > > what kind of coil overs did you get? I’m on buddy club n+'s probably running close to a 3 inch drop with the HFP lip kit all around. Skunk2 rear camber arms and ignalls front camber bolts. I heard good things about watkins on central, i’ll give them a call. Anyone else know good places? ---

I don’t know about their height limitations though, mine is only dropped about an inch a half. Just called watkins and they said they can do it no problem cause they have an alignment machine where they just drive onto it without any ramps like i was talking about. And they said they’d be able to dial in some custom neg. camber for me which i want. Im so pumped. They said its gonna be 160 plus tax which is the only downside but whatever i least i know itll be done good and i don’t have to worry about my lip kit getting all f’ed up. Thanks for the suggestion thecor. ---

Just as a suggestion, call up Cooley Mazda/VW and ask for Tom to do your alignment. Or PM 1stGen on this site, that’s Tom and he will do a better job than any other place locally. Oh yeah, it should be cheaper than 160 also. ---

I would but the problem is could he get my car up on the rack? The reason i wanna go to watkins is because they don’t have a rack. Its just a pit that you drive over so they don’t need to lift the car at all.
