my bad, i wasnt trying to sound like an ass...lol.. so the shops around there are trying to sell you a shit line about your car being lowered so it costs more.. that is horse sh!# they cant do that to you... lol.. you should ask them how they are still in buisness running things like that..lol. i never heared of a shop wanting to charg more for something like that... that is rediculace... another option is to ask aound, look for others that have there cars lowered, an see where they go to... i dont know whats around your area, so i could not realy tell you a shop out there to go to... the only thing i can think of is if you have a les shwab around... they should do it.. that is were i go to...

jdmaccordbo! how low is ur car!!! and to the member formerly known as wicked my car is lowered too and i was able to get my alignment done at bfgoodrcih. Certain shops will have a digital alignment device thingy and others will be doing it the old fashioned way. I'm dropped 2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the rear. Most shops can't even get my car up the ramp let alone have the equipment that can even do a readout. The alignment cost me like $65 when all was said and done. Hope that helps

Last time I lowered my car at ELITE Motorsports. It's on Holt Blvd, Montclair. They just charge $75 for installed my 4 springs & 4 shocks. Other shops usually asked bout $100 - $200.
Btw, they sponsored Bisi's Fastest CRX with F22 SOHC. Remember?

um well originaly my car was only supposed to be 2.5" all around, an then you figure the tokikos will drop you another inch or so... but for some odd reason my car is sitting lower than it should.. like i have posted in another post earlyer.. my car has the 3 degree kit on it now an im still off by just over 1 degree... an i also went out an measured from ground to bottom of the headlight at one point an it measured 17" an my moms accord got measured as well an i read 21-22" so im guessing around 4" at the most on mine...
an yes i hit just about everything except the reflectors on the roads... lol

your car is so low. i had it like that low before i couldnt take it. my car is 1.5 inch drop i can fit about 6 fingers from the floor and up to my kit and i can drive it pretty well. the really low cars look good but i always wonder how they even get around

ya i often wonder how the hell i get around myself sometimes..lol.. the ride is surprisingly good.. it is not all bouncy like i thought it would be, but i am tired of it being so dam low though..(the worst part is that i did not want it that low, everything just settled down alot).. i hate that feeling of oh dam am i going to even make it into that parking lot, or even worse when you have to go to a shop, an you gotta clear a set of double speed bumps... chesse an rice..(substituted in for jesus christ)..hehehehe...
