Are there any shops in Columbus that can do alignment on cars that are lowered and have a hard time getting on a regular alignment machine, subframe connectors don't help either. Recently got new tires and I know I need an alignment but haven't found a place that can do it yet. Guess I could just yank the subframes for temporary alignment purposes though.

My 05 vette was lowered 2" and they had use boards to get it on the racks.
Now my camaro ss had subframe connectors and they hit going on the racks and they just used boards too. Firestone on Veterans across from the Krystal seem to know how to get them on there. I have been dealing with Brent up there for years. Good luck

Or you might try Columbus Springs down off of 2nd ave. behind the Salvation army building on 3rd ave.

#165. A guy at work was up at the new KIA plant in West Point and on his way back he thought he saw her with a for sale sign in the window. The thing is, this guy hasn't seen the car in a few years so he might be wrong.
The guy that bought her lives in the north part of Harris county close to the Troup county line. I would like to have her back. She may of been wrecked a few times and drove like **** but she did run the low 11's.
