Has anybody with a pretty seriously dropped car ever had to get an alignment? Ive needed one for like a year now and i know i have a problem finding a ramp i can get onto. So anybody know of a place that can get pretty low cars on?

i'm not too sure how much ur lowered but i'm having a hard time finding a spot too with my drop (2 inch)

i was told that there is a shop off sunrise highway that does lowered cars but i forgot the name of it. if/when i find out the name of it, i will let you know.

honestly i barely have the time these days....i'm usually at work and right after work i go to my bf's place...and then go to work in the morning...
plus i am not into cars as much as i used to be..i think i am just sick of my car...i wanted to get a new one this spring...but i doubt it will go through due to funds. :(

Sigh, another celica bites the dust I see. Only a matter of time before you sell yours. It's all good though. You better still come to visit us when you buy your new car. :)

You drive around garden city right? I'm sure i've seen you a couple of times right around adelphi university/nassau blvd. I had the white celica with ap kit stock wing and yellow fogs.

Was that you? anyway. i need an alignment too, but my car isn't dropped as low as yours.

Yea thats got to be me you saw. I live right in that area. I know ive probably seen you. I recall white celicas on nassau blvd plenty of times. Most recently right by the tracks. Is that your car in your sig cuz it looks yellow!?

Niceeee, not too far from me either. Looks like a qulaity shop to me based on their website. How are their prices, reasonable?

Looks like they do a LOT of different things. I will have to add this shop to my list and pay them a visit, thanks!

Yes, my ass is still alive! :D
Jonas and I are doing pretty well. I don't see him too much since we are always busy. He is into auto collision, such as fixing and painting cars. He is going to paint my RX-7 in the summer when the bodykit arrives. :evil:

I know how you feel about not being into cars anymore. I think it's due to the weather. Hopefully it will get warm soon so we can have a meet and go to E-Town.

I've been to Mirage, but haven't tried Posh yet. How is the crowd and what type of music do they play? Are there a lot of single girls out there?:naughty:

The price is reasonable for the quality of work performed on cars. They get it right the first time! They have outstanding machines and workers. Also, they are into racing and have a great reputation, especially from the BMW forum. They always have so many sweet rides outside their shop. I have seen cars such as Viper, Z06, BMW, Porsche, RX-7, S2000, and Ferrari.

Good luck

He does work on the side and he is also ASE certified. I don't want to reveal the company he works for, I wouldn't want them to find out and possibly have him fired.

yeah that's understandable. Is he good? You think he would be able to shave my wing off and fix a dent on my rear quater panel? PM me his info.
thanks!

If you could put some pics of the quarter panel, I could show him your problem.

Also, he has most of his own tools.
