I have a 94 E320 with H&R springs, KMAC bushings installed. I am running stock 8 hole wheels with Kumho Ecsta 195/65-15 tires. I have had the alignment done 2 times and I am still having wear issues with my tires. The last shop said the car was too low and they could not get it with in specs. I asked them to set it to the sportline specs. I have seen many cars posted that have H&R springs so I can't have the only car that can't be aligned, do I? Can anyone tell me the specs that I can have a shop align my car to and does anyone know of a shop in the Sacramento area? I'm willing to drive to the East Bay to get it done right. Thanks.

I'd look for a shop that specializes in selling parts for highly modified cars such as low riders or hot rods and ask them for advice as to a good local alignment place.

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't thought of going that route. If I find a shop I would like to bring them the specs for the alignment. I'll keep looking in the forum and maybe find it already posted. Thanks again.

It is important to find a shop that does 4 wheel alignment - including thrust.

I made the mistake of going to a shop that did "front only" - and the results were less than perfect. I later (a couple weeks) found a place that had one of the fully computerized alignment racks, and although it took quite awhile (over 2 hours) this shop was able to get the alignment near perfect. I'm running 18" Lorinsers with CH90s - 235 fronts, 265 rears - and after 15k miles, the tires are wearing evenly, and the car steers straight and smooth.
