Default Alignment help (slammed)

Need some help guys. I have recently lowered my Z and been to 3 places (Firestone, tire kingdom, and Nissan) trying to get an alignment. All the shops say its to low to get on the rack. Even tried the dps600 alignment machine at Nissan which is used to align the gtr and it didn't work.

I live in West Palm Beach and wouldn't mind driving a bit. Please help

Some of the guyZ swear by this place ... It's a drive and hard to find but they say it's worth the effort. Appointment is recommended.

Sounds like lazy people that dont want to deal with aftermarket suspension. Had this happen when I lived Louisiana. Had 3 shops tell me they couldnt do it. 1 told me they could, but at the end of the day when I went to pick it up after work, they hadnt touched it & told me my suspension was to complex. Finally I found a Dealership that had a machanic willing to do it.

Now I live in Panama City, FL. The FireStone here not only does my alignment but sold me a lifetime alignment at regular price despite my built suspension. They dont have a special machine, they do however use a couple of 2 x 12 x 10' boards with center supports to load my Z on the machine. BTW Im slammed on coilovers with a front splitter & they dont damage.

So if you wanna come to PCB for spring break and get an alignment, I know a great shop.

Most generic shops won't do it. You took it to 2 generic and the dealer??? Lol
For alignment on lowered cars or slammed you will have to go to a custom shop most likely.
In Miami I go to Autoglitz. Great guys.

You can go to Transformers Auto.
Their alignament machine is flushed with the floor so it does not matter how low your car is.
