[Absolut Speed]

I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.

Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it.

So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

I've always used NTB for my custom alignments until now. I took my car to NTB a few weeks ago for an alignment and we couldn't get it on the rack. Too low with the coilerovers. I talked to the tech for a while and he said that typical alignment racks are all about the same height. I scheduled an alignment at a race shop for next week...

I am a relative newbie to working on my car, but I found bleeding the brakes to be pretty easy unless the bleeders are stuck. You may want to give this a try yourself.
