there are plenty of shops that work on drift cars and heavily modded/lowered cars in the greater Seattle area. I used to live there. u should be able to find a legitimate shop to get yourself an alignment. as for your rear wheel problem, that's something you need to diagnose a bit yourself before we can help you too much. it could be something as simple as improperly tightening your lugs. need more info.

i live in vancouver seattle is 2 and a half hours away there are shops that charge alot and i dont have that kind of money i am at school right now i will look today after school and give more info the only thing i could think of being wrong would be the loose stock camber kit? i dont even wanna drive my car because it feels like the back wheel is wobbling it doesnt only feel like it i can hear it so after school i will look and give more info

6" drop is like asking for new controll arm bushings, ball joints, tires, wiring harness,
Not healthy at all for your car but....
Alignment at this point is worthless

i just lowerd my car three days ago if i raised it could i save all the truble of getting new bushings and ball joints? or it is to late i only dive about 3 miles a day to school and back

the stress placed on arms and bushings and related suspension gear is not necessarily an immediate thing, though in some cases it could be. in general if you raise your car a bit, you will relieve some of that stress and your stuff will last longer, providing you havent already blown something out with your ultra slam.

LEXXIUM, I wouldn't say an alignment is ever useless/worthless. although I understand you're being a bit sarcastic given the situation.

but yes, having a slammed/dumped car means you're putting your suspension under a type of load that it wasn't designed to handle, and it is a matter of time when things start to give. if you're on a tight budget like you say, it would be wise to raise your car a bit. you can still be low and look good, but you probably shouldnt try to be the lowest of the low until you can afford to replace things. with a moderate drop, your stuff should hold up just fine.
