thanks for the reply!! I'll give them a call

Post up your fav alignment shop people!! I want to get a couple of quotes from a few different places, maybe find one closer to home, but it's worth a drive for the right price and quality of work.

I'd also like to find a "lifetime" deal, not many offer it anymore, but worth the extra money to get your car aligned like 2x a year.

Anyone ever use superautobacs? I only say this because I know they wouldn't _____ about a lowered civic with wheels.

There's a place off Goldenwest or something in HB where I got/get mine. I've gone to him about 4 times now. I only go to him because he uses the electronic alignment crap that most big name shops use and he allows me to decide what camber and toe angles I want.

PM me if you want the number.

Remember to wait about a week or so before you get the alignment after you get the springs put on

i just got my car aligned over in Pomona Tires by Garey Ave and Lexington... just behind that the Market (forgot what its called), beside Autozone, in front of Kragen, just behind Hoa Hing Supermarket, right in front of Garey High School... whew hope that was enough info on where it is. HAHA.. i just paid 50 bux to have my car aligned and if you have coilover with camber plate, they can adjust it via camber plate too and you can tell them how much camber you want.
