Default Places to get an Alignment...ASAP?

I just put on a brand new suspension system on my civic....gas struts and coil overs.....now i obviously need an alignment ...not to mention i need one before i changed everything out but ive gone to three places nopw and waited all to day just to hear we couldnt do it cause of how low it is....

Does anyone know where i can take my now lowered civic for an alignment?

I know ever one with lowered cars isnt driving around in need of an alignment.

You shouldn't have to need one. Just changing the springs and struts. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out though.

Unless your car is pulling. But just changing out the springs and stuff will not make you eat threw tires prematuraly. Thats the whole reason of getting a alignment is to max out your tire wear. Or if your steering wheel is a crooked from curbing the car or whatever. I would suggest though raising it up to a resonable height if people are telling you no. That should have given you a hint.

you should always get an alignment after making major changes to your suspension! if his vehicle was stock its was aligned for that height not the lowerd height. lowering your vehicle can and 99.9% of time will throw your align out.

Fred Cox is one of the Best!

When the ride height of your vehicle is changed, your toe will be off. You need an alignment.
