Default alignment after koni/strano install

I will be installing a set of koni 4/3 shocks and strano lowering springs after work today. I understand an alignment is required after the install.

I am hesitant to take the car to a townfair tire or something since it will be pretty low and I just dont trust those places.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get an alignment done in central massachusetts? Or should I just not worry and take it to any place that does it?

I wouldn't just take it anywhere. Some tire places might not take the time to actually adjust caster and camber if it needs it.

Most alignment racks aren't ment to get really low cars on. But I know in my shop we have borads to help get lower cars up on the rack.

But ask around just to see how places are. Going somewhere that you could watch them do it would be great cause then you can see how they make adjustments if they need too. I know it is possible to make the readings change on the machine just by moving the heads on the wheels.
