Best place near Plum/Monroeville to get lowered Corba aligned?

**NateSVT** · 03-19-2008, 01:54 PM

I just bought some new tires and I want to get my car aligned soon. I haven't got it aligned after lowering it yet. Every place I bring it to says that it is too low and wont make it on their rack. Does anyone know of a good place near Plum or Monroeville for aligning lowered cars?

Ignore the filthy Cobra, it started raining when I was out the other day. It's clean now tho

Haha yea they got a lot worse after I put the KB on 2 weeks ago. Can't even floor it in 3rd without roasting the tires

Actually....sears has all the newest alignment equipment, and i've had cars as low as yours on their rack a few times.

I tell them what specs I want and they do it.

I will never go to goodyear again.....the one by Z&M dented my car and would not pay for it.....after they claimed it was on the workorder...guess what? negative.

In your opinion, what specs would be best for a street-driven car?

I used to run 1.75 deg neg camber, factory spec caster, 1/16" toe-in on my old 2000GT with a 245 tire.

consistent 28mpg with one 30mpg highway mileage with stock gears, yet was still capable on an autocross track and DD use. No abnormal tire wear.

Thanks for all the replies!!

Ray - They are 315-35-17 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD. Here's what they look like mounted.

I guess I'll try the Sears in Monroeville. I just need to roll my fenders before I get these tires put on. My Sumitomos just started to get chewed up BAD from my fender, and the BFGs are wider so I'm sure they would rub even worse.

I'm assuming you're running a wheel spacer (3/8"?)...you could probably go to a thinner spacer (3/16") so you don't have to roll the fender lips. You will put hair line cracks in the paint if you roll them far enough.

Damn man, that's an expensive tire. Hope you get decent mileage out of them

Dropped my car off at Sears yesterday, then they called me like 40 mins later and told me my car is too low to align it.

I went to this guy frank in charleroi. He aligns alot of lowered cars and hooked me up. Its alittle bit of a drive but hes cheap and i got a good alignment

Any luck yet Nate? I'd like to get my terminator aligned before I put my new wheels on so they won't get scratched or anything. I can't believe that people aren't able to work no our cars because they're too low? c'mon, how in the hell would somebody get a viper aligned then?
