Teins and Body kit: Alignment is a no go

I went to three shops today all saying that my car is too low and cannot be aligned with the stillen front lip. Anyone else with Teins and Front lip have this problem?

he means to take 2 pieces of wood, wide enough for your tires, and place them in front of the ramp and climb on the wood first...then onto the alignment machine
i hope that makes sense

That isnt the problem. The problem is that the bodykit is too low for each side (light) to get a direct line of sight.

What you talkin about Willis.. The beams stick out of body about 6inches and points front to rear. For the one that goes side to side, You can point the arms down so the arms are looking below the body.

Since i put my teins on, i haven't got an alignment and don't think i really need one, my tires are in great condition after about 2k miles.

When I had my Teins on I had to drive around until I found a shop that could get it on the rack. Took me about 3 tries. You might want to try asking some performance shops around where people get their lowered cars aligned.

I'd get an alignment no matter what. My car tracked straight, but my camber was slightly off and the toe was pretty out of spec. Glad I had it done.
