Looking to get my car aligned. Just did full adjustable suspension with coilovers.

Place that has experience with lowered cars.

Thanks.
 
You can do it yourself on a level garage floor with 4 jackstands, small strings and a tape measure (or digital caliper if you're really anal). First time WILL take you 2 hours, but after that you can do it in less than 1. Setup time included.

Procedure, you can also google: diy string alignment, there's a few methods out there.

I always do mine with the wheels on, the car in the 1st article has setup wheels, it just takes a little longer with the real wheels. Remember to set the tire pressures right.

Before you start you have to set the camber angles, again, a digital or mechanical level will do

Pro race teams do it like this:

Go after a week so suspension settles.
