Need Alignment
I've just lowered my car and need to get it aligned, but I am running into problems finding a shop that can do it. I've tried searching but all the results seem to be in Hampton Roads. Does anyone know of a good place to get an alignment done in the Alexandria area?
btw: Camber isn't adjustable on my car right now, so I am just looking to get my toe straightened out. Thanks in advance!

I think there is a NTB over around van dorn street. They should be able to do it fine, but one question if you just lowered it why would the toe get messed up??? Isnt it the camber that needs adjusted for the most part after lowering a car??
Thanks, I'll check out that NTB.
Camber is usually the most affected by lowering, but toe can also change. Usually there will not be much change in the toe unless you go extremely low - I didn't lower mine too much, but I just want to make sure. Check out http://www.ingallseng.com/faq.htm .

For that price you are much better off going to a performance shop, Curry's in Dulles (I think they opened up one closer) will do it for $80 I think? ANyways they have a laser alignment machine and let me chill under the car with the mechanic and the remote digital display to set the car how I wanted.
i got mine done at merchants tire in burke.. i put my coilovers on and my wheels looked like this from the rear / \ they did it for only $80, i dunno what they used but it worked and my car was alot lower than stock height

No problem, they are really professional over there.. you'll be surprised.
How much did they quote you? Once I fix my rear tire problem and finish the coilovers I'll need an alignment BAD.
