All Aspects would be your best bet...
If its super slammed, take it to RaceWerks in VB. They will be more expensive but they do alignments on all the retarted static slammed VW's and such

Re: best shop for alignment on lowered vehicles?
IMO i wouldn't take it to berts. I've heard a lot of good things about them so i took my old DA to them before. I have a camber kit just so they could dial everything in a bit better but got a call an hour after i dropped it off saying They won't touch the camber kit. The tech recommended i take the camber kit off and go back to stock on my upper control arm. They also said they would be heating up my knuckle to align it. I really didn't feel comfortable letting them do that considering that part is not something to be bending in the first place.
Other people that recommended this place said berts heats up their knuckle to bend things in place and they have never had problems with it. Im just not a fan of that.
yes, i know this reply is late.

I've been using Pro Alignment on King St in Hampton. $70 for 4 wheel alignment. The owner aligns a lot of cars for race applications, but I dunno if his rack will get a car as low as yours up on it.
If you want my .02 as a Nissan guy, raise your car a bit. As low as you got it, you're scraping your exhaust on any teeny ant hill on the road. And if you're using a spring/damper combo, I can only imagine how your car feels riding the bump stops. Hell, even on a fully adjustable coil over setup, that's really effing low and leaves little suspension travel. early 90s Nissans are NOTORIOUS for not having enough suspension travel as is, let alone if they're over lowered. I can also dig up a bunch of articles (one from Moto-IQ comes to mind) about how over lowering like that only serves to throw off your suspension geometry.
