Default Alignment shop's?

i need to align my sc300 but the problem is it sits so low to the ground that i cant get up any machine. lol. can anyone recommend a good alignment place with an inground alignment machine that can handle a lowerd car. i wanted to do custom setting also on teh alignment so if anyone knows of any good reputable place let me know.....

I have heard Thalmann's Alignment in Glenview is the best. I will probably take mine there after lowering.

yep I vouch for these guys, when I had my IS, they did a great job.
I'm going back to align my solara in a few days to a couple weeks.

I couldn't find any more recent posts on this subject.

I'm looking for a trustworthy shop for alignment, definitely one that has experience with lowered rides.
I'm also looking for anything in the Indianapolis area as well.
Thanks all!

just replied your PM but for everyone out there...

there's a guy named Derek at Tire Barn by Castleton mall. He drives a blue IS300 and does GREAT work. If you need alignment in the Indianapolis area, I highly recommend him.
