St. Louis-I need a alignment, whos good? I will be ordering new tires when they get back in stock for discount tire direct. I need a alignment to MY SPECS, or as close as the stock suspension will allow. My T/A is lowered and I wouldn't let Dobbs do a oil change on it. (they installed tires for me before and put a directional on backwards, not good for a place that specializes in tires.) Anyone use Zisser or know of a good shop that can perform a performance alignment?

Overland Dobbs installed directional tires incorrectly. A shop I worked at in Westport (the ZX station) uses Dobbs @ Dorsett and McKelvey for alignments. They have had issues too. I know mistakes happen but if you build your business on tires then you should be able to do it well. Tires are about as difficult as a oil change. Not rocket science.
