Default help pleeze

i just lowered my civic (96 hatch) and put adjustable camber kits on there. i called a few famous tire retailers and they said that they couldnt do my alignment. why? does anyone know of a tire shop in the bradenton/sarasota area that could? and if it helps it is only lowered about 1~1.5 in. eibach pro spring/damper and the camber kits are skunk2.
thanx

are they just saying they cant do it bc they've only been trained to do the stock adjustments and dont know how to adjust the skunk2 arm? if so you just need to find someone that knows how to do those.

I do alignments on lowered cars using the Dunlop mobile/portable alignment set like they use in the garages of Indy.

All I need is a flat level surface. I'm booked up until Thur 1 Feb, however. If interested, get back to me.-Bob
