Firestone does lifetime alignments but they wouldn't do my car because that said I'm to low. haha...yea I just dont think they wanted to work on my car. I went to a place called Tires Plus that has 1 year alignments for like $115.

I have Lifetime Alignments through Firestone. I paid $150 last summer and I've had probably 5 or 6 alignments since then. I'm getting my money's worth.

yea the place i went to barely got my car on the lift they used blocks and everything... i dont think i could go back to them now because i have an aspec kit on and that even is harder to get up things now! there is a place by my work out there that has a drive on lift that is over a recessed pit so no incline i might ask them what they charge and if they have done lowered cars before

make your own tiny wood ramps and bring them with you. you can make them yourself...and just put your ramp onto their ramp and drive up. thats what i do with my place. not exactly like the pic below, but you get the idea.

^ very nice shark thanks for the idea now i gota get you over here to build me a set lol....

i cant even take my car to get its oil changed anymore... i do it in my driveway at the entrance where there is a low V between my driveway and the street.... only place i can fit the jack under my car is with that dip between the two so now i have to change my own oil lol which isnt hard but ends up costing me more than just going to jiffy lube

^right on.

also one more thing, you might want to make another steady decline part at the end of the ramp, so that you can safely get onto firestones lift without bottoming out, know what i mean? ramps to go up and ramps to go down. not sure if i explained that right...but it makes sense in my head.

alright, sorry for hijacking your thread. lets get back to how badass your car looks.
