Alignment question.
 

Need to get an alignment. Pulled my coils off in the front and ended up readjusting ride height front and rear while I was underneath trying to diagnose and fix another issue. I have already had an alignment done at another shop that manually adjusts and measures specs. I wanted to get this next alignment done at a shop that does it electronically using sensors.

My issue has been that every shop I go into either says they cant get my car on the platform (I'm not slammed. I would guess aprox. 1.5 up front and maybe 1.75 in rear.) or they cant fit the sensors on my wheels without hitting the fenders. If I raise the car to a level they can do it, have it aligned, then reset ride height the specs will be all out of whack again.

Am I just going to have to bite the bullet and take it back to the same shop that I originally had it done at? Im in northern Los Angeles county and don't want to really have to drive an hour and a half for an alignment. If there is a good shop anyone recommends that can set me up with an alignment and corner balance I would do it for that. :thanks:

We use a Hunter Hawkeye Elite system and can do all kinds of lowered cars etc. How close are your tires to the fenders? They should be able to get the sensors in there if they can't your car is likely way way too low and likely won't handle well no matter what you do to the alignment.

As for manual v. electronic, a manual alignment can be just as good or better than electronic, however it takes about 10x as long to get similar results.
