I just got my alignment and right after the alignment it doesnt feel stable. And going around turns not eve fast. The traction light goes off and cuts power. Also going like 70 and hitting the brakes hard the front shimmies. And a few times the traction light goes off take a turn. And the hear the rear tires squeal taking a hard turn going 5 mph...something isnt right. Here's my alignment sheet. I'm lowered on ksport coils. And I do have camber arms in the back.
Camber in the front differs quite a bit left/right. Rear is even worse. Your tires will be worn unevenly in no time!
I think they said they couldn't touch the camber arms in the back cuz Its aftermarket. But does the specs look bad for a lowered car. Yes its lowered as stated in the posting. Coils
If I recall, only toe is adjustable on the front and camber/toe on the rear. Of course there are limits to the adjustments available in stock components. With a lowered vehicle there may be insufficient adjustment available to get the car into proper alignment spec.
Some Firestone will do it. I found one and got to know the tech and manager after I bought a set of potenzas from them. I bought the lifetime alignment for 99 bucks back in 2004. They aligned it to whatever I wanted every month if I wanted.
How long have you had the coils and camber arms on? If those are recent additions I'd be sure to double check all your bolts are tight (preferably to appropriate torque specs). If you look at your alignment sheet each box has a really small number in the upper right and left corner which gives you the factory spec range so you can see how close (or far) out of specification you are. Depending on how low you are, wheel/tire specs, etc... factory spec might not be ideal for you but rear camber could def. use adjustment regardless. If Firestone doesn't want to do it right I wouldn't let them do half the job. They basically just made a couple turns of the tie rods up front and called it a day.
FWIW I had my car to Tires Plus for alignment after I added upper control arms & rear camber links. They offered me lifetime alignment for an extra $30, I was about to turn it down b/c I told them I had a bunch of aftermarket pieces and tend to modify things. They didnt have any problem with my aftermarket modifications so it was a no brainer.
