Re: Alignment for lowered cars and powercoating?
You could just request they add 1/4-1/2 degree more camber in the rear.That should take care of it.
I definitely will, thanks guys. So I will haveadjustable rear camber...I don't know exactly how much negative camber that I will need to clear my rear wheels (won't be super ridiculous, but I rub ever so slightly right now on the very outside edge, all it does is take the dirt off the tire, don't cut the tread), so will they be able to set it to whatever I need for the wheel to clear the fender? Do they have a way of messing with the the camber arms to get to a point where my wheels will not rub anymore, or is this something I will have to do on my own? Forgive my noobness on this...I've never messed with camber and such before. On my previous car I only had a camber correction kit installed - didn't go with adjustable camber. Any info is appreciated.

Just sharing a little experience: i went to firestone at tanglewood mall yesterday for an alignment. All the guys seemed very knowledgeable and alignment went smooth as can be. I don't have an drop or custom suspension so i can't say how that would go, but i'm very happy with the results i got.

awesome, thanks for the review. I spoke with a guy I went to school with growing up, and he works for a shop in Bedford and said he would align it for me. So i may check into that.

I don't know if it's any good or how it compares to what other shops have, but thats what he told me they have. Anyone know if this is any good?
