Where do I get my car aligned for my Prodrive Springs?

Wrxified · 05-06-2003, 08:41 AM

This is ticking me off. I went to three places and brought the recommended Prodrive settings with me. First two looked at me with their mouths wide open and a blank stare. They said they didn't have the right "machine" to acheive those settings. I didn't think this would be that hard.

Third place was recommended by the first two. When I got their I explained what I needed and he continued to argue with me for two minutes on how my 1.5" drop has no effect on alignment and that he didn't understand what I wanted. He finally got the guy in the back to agree to the alignment and the guy took my car for 5 minutes and came back saying they couldn't get it up on the lift with my lowering springs and and STi V2 front lip. Said it's to freaking low.

WTH do I do? Any suggestions. Also can anyone tell me what to say the idiots working the counter so they don't give me crap about why I'm doing it. Is there a quick logical answer as to why the settings need to be changed so I can get them to understand what I need. I'm about a day away from putting the nasty stockers back on so I don't need to go through this crap everytime I need a dang alignment. This is ridiculous!
