Pelican Parts Forums - Out of spec wheel alignment issues.

I just had a wheel alignment done from my local P dealership. Things didn't go as planned and was a little frustrated.

I booked my car in 3 weeks prior, to have the suspension adjusted Euro ride height, Corner balanced and wheel alignment done. My car gets dropped off, only to get a call later that day explaining that this is a major job that could potentially get expensive and takes days to get done. Explaining to me that setting the car to euro ride height and corner balancing is a tough job. I explained, I knew the process of doing this and kind of job, but got the hint that there was no time for this now. So to move ahead with wheel alignment and see how things go..At this point I agreed, so I could get my car back by the next day,

Backstory..

I just finished rebuilding everything on suspension and installing turbo tie rods. The only thing I didn't replace was the Spring plate bushings as they were done by the PO couple years back. The car was at, or very close to euro ride height before I removed the old parts.

So the wheel alignment is completed and I pick up my car. Was told they did the best to get it within OEM spec. Was then told that if I wanted it set up for more back and twisty roads, they would have set it up a differently and to come back another time. In all fairness, I never gave them any information on how I wanted the alignment set up.. I just wanted it to be a great daily driver and many spirited drives.. I was also told if I want it to be set up to Euro ride height I should remove the spring plates myself and get is close, then they will do the minor adjustments with another wheel alignment. If not then I could potentially be looking at a very expensive bill..

Measuring on a flat garage floor to top of wheel well, these are the measurements.

FL 25"
FR 25" 3/8
LR 25" 3/8
RR 26"

Side note: My car drives and brakes straight, so that's a positive ... haha

Not sure where to go from here... I'm not trying to bash the dealership..just explaining what I went through. Next I will try and find another shop that's willing to just make a little effort to get the car set up properly. Sorry for the long post. Would love some thoughts on this. Also thoughts on my wheel alignment.

Cheers to all.
