Anyone here in Calgary know of a good place where to get an alignment on a lowered car?
Reason I ask is that when I had my Matrix some places were not able to give me an alignment for some reason.
i just took mine to the dealership when i got my oil change and they did it all for me at the same time

ive heard most places wont give alignments on cars with aftermarket lowering springs, i didnt even need one after i installed mine.

Well I am going to replace my sway bar end links and I would like to make sure the alignment is good. It feels good on the car.....I just wanted to make sure.
I wonder if speedtech would know of a place?
i took mine to shaganappi lol
but i think im the only one having luck with them
what about contemporary motorsports?
I got mine done at Shag it was mint. I wouldn't worry about it till you lower it. unless your tires are wearing weird or you hit something.

Car is lowered already. I want to get my summers on first and my new sway bar end links before I get the alignment done. Seems pretty good right now though.

ya just take it to shag they've had no problem doing alignments on lowered cars.
The links or the summer tires won't make a difference to the alignment. Your toe is out to lunch after you lowered it and may cause the edges of the tires to wear.

I know bro, but my winter tires are causing issues and my end links are loose because we noticed that when we replaced the front springs. We tried tightening them but no difference.
I had an alignment done before I put my winter tires on, it seems to pull to the right. But with the summers it doesn't. I have no idea why either. I have checked the tire pressures and they are perfect.
To confirm it is the tires swap them side to side and the pull should change too.

I can't....they are directional tires. I rotated them front to back and no change in pull.
