What have you done to your P5 today?

i meant to say i thought you couldnt just get a regular alignment with a lowered setup...ie coilovers...



So are all shops capable of doing an alignment also capable of doing an alignment on a lowered car...with aftermarket suspension... some just dont want to mess with it? I think i see whats going on here....

I see why most shops wont touch your car... to much work to get it up on the machine and to get it off. Like someone stated earlier the shop doesnt want to have to fool around with boards to do your alignment.

I did see your sig but I just figured thats how low you sat it for a pic and are going to raise it up for daily driving. Either way they should still be able to do an alignment on your car if they want to mess with getting it up on the ramps.
 
lol u can go get an alignment anywhere dude
just take ur front bumper off when u get there and there wont be a problem

well maybe ur sideskirts...hmm maybe raise it and then when u get to the alignment place, lower it all the way ON the ramp and then have them align it
then raise it and be on ur way lol

they could barely get my car on the ramp like 2cm's away from scraping my sideskirts up

Depending on which rack in my shop I use there are air jacks in the center that can catch the under side too.
 
i do alignments on modded stuff all day long. my shop is in a wierd area in nashville....i get alot of lowered hondas/jacked up trucks/donks and i just tell the service writers to come get me and ill adjust labor time according the whats needed. i tell them there is NO warrenty on any modded suspension. i actually like doing modded stuff, its more of a challenge:)

Well today was an eventful day. Went home to recharge my K&N filter and once that was done, I headed back to my apartment. On the way home at a red light, A trucker decides to cut it too close when braking towards the rear of my car and he hits me before he stops. Now I have a bunch of scratches, a couple of pretty deep gouges from his license plate and the screws and I wasted 2 hours of my day waiting for the cop since it was second shift. I would have just gone on my way after we exchanged info and called it in but when my mom got hit, she was given false info and ended up not being able to do a damn thing. I should be hearing back from his insurance company tomorrow so hopefully I can get this all nice and repaired. It is also now loose not where the bumper attaches to the rear quarter panel but where the plastic attaches to the wheel well if you know what I mean. Either way, I'm not touching it until all this insurance stuff goes through. Luckily he didn't hit me harder and I'm perfectly ok.

Sucks to hear man...any pics of the damage...
 
The damage is really not that bad but bad enough that the bumper will have to be repainted at the very least. Let me upload some pics. I'll edit this post in a couple mins.

Here are the pics. Like I said, it's not that bad but those gouges are deep as hell. The bumper also wiggles where it is attached to the wheel well on the passenger side now.
