Any recommendations for an alignment in the Detroit metro area? Thanks!
You can get a good deal if you purchase 5 alignments at once from Firestone at 13 and Woodward (I think it's somewhere around $140, which is slightly less than if you bought two individual alignments) -- you can use the alignments at any time and on any vehicle. My S is not lowered, but they have always been careful with my cars. Definitely, a great deal if you want to try different settings on one car, or if you have multiple vehicles.

no I wish, we just have negotiations with local tire shops so they cannot tell us a car is too low...


...nor can they tell us we are too good looking.

That's not a bad deal at all.. BTW, do you work at Beaumont?? i've seen an S in the parking structure there and the Firestone shop is just blocks away too..

Anyway, I took lowered S to a shop called Slims Hotrod shop over on 10 and Gratiot.. They have a drive-on alignment rack w/ a pit.. I had to go there bumperless though because the bumper will block the lasers up front.. Cost me $80 for a 4 wheel alignment..

No, I do not work at Beaumont, but TYM2FLY does (if it is suzuka blue, then it may be their car -- their license plate matches their screen name here). My office is at 12 and Greenfield; so, I'm not often far away from the area.

I'm in need of an alignment also. Went to the NTB in St. Charles (in-ground alignment rack) last year before my roadtrip to Cali, and still didn't clear. =(

I know my car is extremely low, lol.
