Looking for a good alignment shop in 530/916 area

Anyone know a good alignment shop around 530/916 area that knows what they are doing? I'm in chico and only place around here that i know of that will do a lowered car is Les Scwhab. i had my bro take my car there and they said they couldn't do my alignment because it will set off all the sensors. some crap like that. Anyways i just installed my MR coilovers and it looks like i need to get my alignment done soon. so if you know of a shop that will do lowered car and knows what they are doing. let me know. thanks..

I know this is alignment thread. but how do you like your MR coilovers? i just installed mine about a weeks ago and so far it's great. Just hope they last longer then the tein basics i had on a different car before.

I like them a lot. With the adjustability that they offer for the price, I think they are hard to beat. They only thing that bothers me is a popping noise that sometimes comes from the rear. I suspect it is the rear upper spring mount bumping into something. I'm going to try to figure out how to fix that when I have time over the summer. Other than that one issue, I think they're great.

Dude is your G lowered? cause i had my brother drive my car 1.5hrs to Elk Grove Infiniti and they said it was $140 to do the alignment because my car was lowered. So even at that price i said go ahead and do it if they can get my alignment close enough to where it won't wear out my tires in a month. they tried to do the alignment but couldn't get my car up the rack. My car is lowered 1" all around with 20's. To do a lowered car you would need an in ground alignment set up and they didn't have that. Oh yea and my brother got pulled over for front windows being too dark. which is bs. so yea it was pretty much a wasted day.

^^ i'm lowered, but it is a mild drop with 350z tein h-techs. i'm about an inch lower in the front and slightly less in the rear. not sure why they couldn't do the alignment on yours. the guy I knew with a body kit was dumped on cusco coilovers, and they still did it. maybe the guy that you dealt with there was just being an a$$. sorry to hear about the wasted day though

I know of this one shop in sac that is a chinese shop. They did my friend's lowered Z, lowered 240 and M3. They did a great job. Only charged $45 and they use the Laser machine, hunter to do the alignment. I'll be taking my car there once I get my coilovers on.

Try going to G12, plenty of my friends went there to get their alignment done after they lowered their cars. http://www.crabtreebros.com
