Mine is lowered 1 1/2" and I was having a hard time finding a place to perform an alignment on my car. I eventually got 'Stephenson's' to do it in Oshawa. They have a special ramp that will allow lowered cars to get on the hoist and have a pretty fancy laser-assisted computer alignment machine, it was interesting watching them.

Shiat....it was just last summer I had it done and I cannot remember exactly how much it was. I know that is a little bit more than say a Canadian Tire alignment, but not astronomical. They didn't charge me any more because I had a lowered sports car, they were good honest guys.

Thanks nighthawk. So it was a no B.S place? Finally. Where abouts in Oshawa if you remember? If I have to Ill make the trip its not that far. Plus it gives me an excuse to tar all those HONDA types with those liitle knobby things that fly off your tires...you know the ones? the little bits that fall apart because the tires cant deal with all that chevy power?
