Wheel alignment with lowered car

[Spoon-Accord]

hey guys..

as u guys may noe i went and lowered my car a few months ago
i went today to a normal tyre shop to get an alignment ..
drove up the ramp ping.. the car touching the flaps on the ramp..
too low

then i went to pedders.. they shock their head and suggested me to go to the tyre factory cause they have pitted wheel aligner's
so i went there and got a quote for 65 bux..

i told them for sure it wont fit, they said it did..
and guess wat?? doesnt even fit!!!
my car is 1 fist high from ground to chassis
half a fist to the exhaust...

thats only a 2 1/2 inch drop

he even said its lower than superlows..

i learnt my lesson



being low is kinda unique..
no one can fix it hehehe

i had no problem getting mine aligned, went to Quickfit, their hoist is level with the ground with no rise at all.

In and out for $30, toe and castor all good, camber at -3 degrees and not moving unless i get a camber kit

lol yeh, it doesnt actually look that low in the pics how far is it off the ground in cm?

[Spoon-Accord]

from the ground and touching the chasis is less than a can heights..
say a tennis ball can merely fit

that looks hot man ... but luckily mine was only lowered by 1 1/2 inch because i wouldnt want it too low, yours dont look it, it just looks phat! nice car man...

[razaman]

Do you guys have ride height laws in oz?

In NZ it's 10cm from ground to lowest part of chassis, including exhaust, but not kits.

I have a 1.25 inch drop, and I sit 20cm from the ground to my factory exhaust on 15" wheels with 195/60's.

A can is 12cm high....but a tennis ball??? :P
