alignment in Florida for lowered car? ? ?

[GrapeBandit]

I'm looking for an alignment shop in Florida, specifically near Ocala, Spring Hill, New Port Richey area that can align a lowered car. Every place I called or showed up to, they say the same thing, "not a chance in hell you are getting that , your car is too low". Now mind you, I'm about 23"GTF and i know there's guys running even lower who had alignment done. I think it's the area I'm in, all rednecks with raised black smoke blowing diesel trucks, they know nothing about being low and/or don't have the right equipment

I can raise the car some, but if I do that, when I lower it back down it will effect the toe, how much, I don't know.

Anyone know of anyplace? Cant find a shop who does corner weight and cross balancing either, most likely if I could, they can probably do it.

There is a place in brandon, Bergman's European, that I know for a fact has an In-ground Alignment rack, and they do service Audi as well as BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, and others. It is a bit of a hike from NPR, but I usually make the drive from npr to brandon in about an hour if traffic is light.

The first thing that comes out of my mouth when I go in for an alignment is "I know you will never get the camber right and it is way off. Get it as close as possible for every measurement. I promise I won't complain." Never had a problem

i have my own specs im going to give them. ill ask to speak to the alignment tech to see if he can handle the task. i will be paying with my credit card in case an issue arises that they cant fix, that way i can call the credit card company and dispute the charge. capital one is awesome when it comes to that. lol. they helped me out 2 times in the 2.5 years ive had that card.

Tire Kingdom in Daytona has an in ground rack and the alignment guy there named Mark drives a slammed RSX and knows how to do good lowered alignments. I know that is a hike for you but any other florida guys just a heads up.

Or there is Revworks in Orlando they are 125 an alignment and have an in ground rack and do really good work

I went to school in Daytona and when I graduated I got a job in CA. But if you want a good alignment check out revworks they are the place i would go if i had to drive

this is the only one with the in ground. they said nobody named mark works there though. $89.99 for the 4 wheel alignment.

Bergmans European Auto is $120

revworksinc is $125 and they dont have an in ground, but they said their ramps to get on extend to like 15' long. they guy i spoke to has a slammed GTi with like 2" ground clearance and said i should be fine.

It was the one in ormond he might not work there anymore i havent been there in over a year and a half.

Honeslty if i was you i would do revworks. they maybe the most but they are very good and work with you on everything and do any custom thing you want
