I went to dealer w/ my oem rim+comptech spring+ww bodykit today, and guess what??
They told me my car is too low~!!!!! WTF~?!
They said they can't do allignment w/ 18"., so i was like how bout OEM rim? I change the 18"to OEM and took it to the dealer and now they r telling me my car is too low! anyone w/ bodykit and comptech spring went to dealer????!!! now i'm like F*** w/ dealer!!
i know this one tire shop can do alignment but they said i need camber kit(which will cost me close to 500$ include both front and back + installation fee) What should i do? just tell them to adjust toe?? that's all they can do? how bout caster?? people w/ comptech spring and bodykit have no problem w/ doin alignment?

From past experience, once you mod your car (regardless of make) specifically with larger tires and lowering kits, you have to take your car to a specialty shop for alignment. Dealers are unwilling to touch after market stuff (mainly for warranty purposes). Here in Southern California there are a few shops,

funny thing is that they DID the alignment BEFORE and now they are telling me that my car is too low. I was like WTF?! That means my car is lower than before??! I had that spring 25000m and my car ran 50000miles now.
but how can my car drop that much so they cant do the same jop they did before?!!!!

I have comptech springs and I got alignment done at my dealer not long ago after about 300 miles. I have no bodykits and it was possible to do it.

The dealer couldn't do it for me either. Not because they didn't want to but they told me their alignment machine can't fit my 18's into it and they didn't care I had Comptech springs on. Both local dealers told me this. Autothority in Fairfax,VA is doing mine on Friday for $150 (what a rip) but they said they're going to adjust the toe, theis, that, and all kinds of crap. Let's see if they do...after that they're going to dyno my car and tune the VAFC.
