One of these days, we're gonna have to find a place to hold these that isn't at someones house. Maybe a place with a hydraulic lift...

it is so tempting to come down for a while and hang out with you guys, but it is two hours and ten minutes to get to your house. I would have to leave by noon but I could come for 4 hours. I will have to think about it a little more. What kind of audio work do you need done cause I know a little bit. I did my own sub install and everything.

Everything feels pretty good... we had a small problem with the Strut. I need to go get a longer bolt and then I should be fine.
Question... I know we were talking about places to get an alignment in the area. I need to go to a Merchant's but htey didn't know what there were doing when it came to the Ingals camber. I think you had said a merchants that knew what they were doing... where was that one. Which one was it?

my suggestion would be to get your car to the height where you want it exactly, then take it to get professionally done, either at a dealership or a tuning shop. very low cars wont fit on an alignment rack, but tuning shops will either have a lift and dealerships sometimes have pits. those run a whole lot more per alignment though, so I wouldn't suggest doing it more than once, which is the reason you don't want to adjust your height after its done.
some shops that can do very low cars in my area are ultimate performance in dulles, inpline pro in tysons, curry auto (expensive I hear).
