im lookin for a shop to align the MKII, i cranked the coils up for winter so i figured this would be the best time to get it aligned as it not as low as it is for summer. im located in new kensington, and im lookin for a shop that has a pit and can do alignments. ive tried alotta bigger name places and no one can get the car on their rack.

any suggestion around the new ken, tarentum, plum, freeport, kiski area would be killer

If I’m not mistaken, one of the Wright dealerships in Wexford can do alignments on low cars.

if your alignment was good before you raised the car it your toe shouldnt change that much. if it did then you should have done the old tape measure trick and measured tire to tire then adjusted your toe once you raised the car up…  
this is how I aligned my car when I had to replace the outer tie rod end.

i shoulda mentioned i replaced alotta wear parts over the summer - strut bearings & mounts, i rebuilt the coilovers, replaced ball joints, tie rod ends, & wheel bearings - and finally got everything finished up a few weeks back.

i used a tape to get it fairly back to what it needs to be, but theres a little camber and proly a tiny little bit of heel/toe.

They did mine after i raised it up a few inches last year, I took it to another NTB the year prior when it was really low and they had no problem with it either.

Wright Nissan has an alignment machine that is sunken into the floor. so you drive straight out onto it… they had to buy it for the GTR’s
