Hey Guys,
College is finally letting out on Thursday! My G has been sitting in the garage at home for the last two months because of alignment issues. That being said, my car is lowered on Tein S-Techs and has 19 x 8.5 + 25. Last time I was home, I installed Megan front and rear camber kits and a rear SPC rear toe bolt kit. I want to put 15mm spacer up front and 25mm in the back, but I will rub in the back with the spacers. I will be getting my rear fenders rolled and installing the spacers prior to the alignment. My question: where would you guys recommend taking my car to get aligned? I would like a place that has a rack I can get on without scrapping and a place that knows how to work with camber kits. How much am I looking at for the alignment?

There is a Goodyear Auto on Rt1 in Laurel. It is infront of a movie theater there.
The main alignment guy's name is Rob. He is exceptional at dealing with Z's finicky alignments (rear) and he set up my alignment with camber/toe arms 2x. Many of my friends have also gone there. I was referred there by a guy who uses him to set up his road racing alignments, he works at a normal shop but he knows his $hit.
I have also used Ptuning but that's far away, they were great in my experience as well.

I have an appt with them for later this month. Im too low for everyone else and their inground rack will be no problem. 99 bucks is what I was told it was gona cost me.

Thanks for the responses, I've been out of commission for a few days as i got my four wisdom teeth pulled. I called IAG and they cannot get my in before mid-June. In the meantime, I made an appointment to get an alignment with Benchmark Motors in Columbia. The have an in-ground Hunter RX machine. Anyone have any experience with that shop?

IAG Was nice, they did a great job... Price is 99 for an alignment + straight time for anything over an hour. took them 3 hours to do mine... they only charged me half of the over time though. so I ended up paying 170 for alignment 99 for corner balance.
Car feels great. All specs are dead on to what I requested, and car sits even on weight on all 4 corners with a weight of 200# in drivers seat.
wasnt too crazy about it taking 4 hours for an alignment and corner balance. Not sure if it was really my car causing the time or them working slow... at the same time I knew there was no way they would actually do an alignment in 1 hour unless it was pretty much dead on when they start. I would def go there again though in the future.

IAG def has great customer service. IDK why your alignment took so long barnabas but they only took an hr to do mine. I dont have any aftermarket parts for alignment just to put that out there. Here's a picture of their set up. No problems scrapping here unless you ave an inch off the ground.
