      Any shop should be able to do it. I used Town Fair Tire. Same rate as any other "regular" suspension vehicle. I hear Goodyear does alignments too.

      I have coilovers and front camber kits. $90 out the door at Town Fair.

        I have gone to some shops where they will not even touch a lowered car because it can't get on the machine (so they say).

        I just don't want any hassles nor any damage.

            i tried town fair and they looked at my car and wouldnt touch it, said it was to low..

            went to honda dealer and they couldnt get my car on the rack so they didnt do it..

            went to strongs in east hartford, they aligned it but said my car was not fit for the road and lowered improperly (im guessing because of no camber kits) they brough back to stock specs as much as possible but 2 months later and my tires are f'd up.. only the tiniest portion on the in side but still no good..

              I've brought a few cars to Tires plus Wheels in wethersfeild/hartford. They have always done a good job for me and I've had a couple cars that were slammed. When you go inside just tell them that you need an alignment. Do not tell them that the car is lowered or they will charge you extra.

                  Take your front bumper off?...I know this isn't related to an alignment rack but when I got my car towed on a flat bed, it made it on the bed at like a 30-40 degree angle but it only went on without my front bumper on...nothing scraped except my exhaust tip (just put a piece of cloth under it).

                    If your car is slammed it might be a problem getting it on the rack. My car is lowered and I pulled my car on an alignment rack but i had to use wood blocks get it up with out ripping off my bumper.

                        So maybe take off the front and maybe rear bumpers and maybe you'll fit the skeptic shops. I'd say you should have your camber kits though cause otherwise its a waste of their time and your money.

                        Chill... we need to have an intervention about your Si's ride height buddy!
