Does anyone in the Ames area know of a place that can do alignment on a car which is pretty low? I've struck out on a number of places in Des Moines and was wondering if there is anywhere in this area. Getting tired of driving down and then telling me they cannot get it on the rack.

^ I'll give them a call if 02 Phase over at Tires Plus are unable, but I'm trying to be optimistic!
BTW...my car surely cannot be any lower than your Vette, let alone a number of them roaming around the streets. That's why I'm sort of puzzled on why I've had so much trouble...

I 2nd that. I just had Josh align my lowered C5 with their new Infrared Alignment rack. Its built into the ground to where you hardly have to go up any ramps to get the car on the rack. Works slick!

Shottenkirk in Waukee can do any lowered car. Their hoist is actually recessed, so it is the same exact height as the concrete, you drive over it, and then it raises up. They have a pit under it for the tech to work on it. They have a few good guys that work out there

Looking and sounding good Unstang!, Hey btw, I still haven't received my heads and stuff yet from TEA, everytime i call Mike says we are shipping them out today........ but yet they still aren't here, anyone else have any trouble with TEA about getting stuff?
Who's going down to Eddyville Friday night? i should be there on the bike (its an animal, literally you can't miss it) and should be in the car for the midnight madness - hope to see some peeps down there!

Probably not racing this weekend, going to miss the cool temps. 
The car isn't really ready & I have the MS Walk on Saturday morning.
My wheels are in town, on the Fed Ex truck, so I'll have them now.
Rodney, you must be ready to go fast.
6 speeds impress high school kids, autos kick *** at the track...
