I have lowered my 91' SC 1.5" and have 17X9 rims on the car and now I can't find anyone that can align it because the front bumper cover is in the way from the alignment eyes seeing each other. How are people doing it? :confused:

I have the same setup and had my car aligned at "Tires Plus", they have a laser alignment setup that is the balls. It has a reflective disk that attaches to a bracket that mounts to the rims. The disks sticks out from the rim about 1.5'. The laser eyes are on the wall and about 8' above the floor. Try to find a local alignment shop that has something like that.

sounds impressive, but unfortunately there is not a set up like this is Battle Creek, MI. Anyone from Michigan know of a set up that can handle this?

Goodyear in Battle Creek, MI just got the latest alignment machine out there and can do vehicles that are on the ground if need be. In other words they can do it all with this new technology. Thank you and hope this helps others looking.

I had the same problem when I lowered my 94 with H&R's & put 17's on.. No one could get it right so i found a local Wheel & Frame alignment shop & now its the best or even better then it was b4.
