    true...Some shops are total pussies, but i got mines aligned today and i just threw some wood planks on the ramp and used the e-brake slighty so I didn't roll back and rip the lip off

    If you have issues finding a cheap alignment shop just try taking your car to a local technical school and they will most likely do it for free!

They took it.
      Ballwashing bastards.
      Bmw's are a little more complicated to align then most cars because they have to put sandbags in it to get accurate measurements, but they shouldn't rise the price on you that much to do it imo...

        I could not find a place that I could get my low ass e30 onto their lifts. So I took a tape measure and did it myself. Just adjust till you are happy.

        I have to line up my e30 for my lift and jack up the rear end just to get the lift arms to swing under. Tucking 195/60/14

              Get ahold of your local SCCA chapter. The Mazda guys know where it is done!
