Default How come so many denied my alignment?

So I put my lowering springs on, Went with the Eibach 1.2" drop for front and back, so it doesn't look like a honda or anything. The wheel well is hugging the tires perfectly (I put 18" pegs on about eight months ago). After screwing so much with my suspension, I'm trying to get my car aligned. I had to have called six places, and I'm talking mom and pop suspension shops who work on porsches, and beemers, and audis and volvos.... They wont touch it. Anyone know why? luckily I found a guy that is twenty five minutes away who said it shouldn't be a problem, and he was also baffled at why no one else would do it. So bizarre. Thanks for listening!!

Sounds odd, but when I got my Volvo a few places I used to go for service wouldn't touch my 850. They said Volvos were very particular and didn't want to go thru the hassle. it might be that, OR because you don't have the stock height and essentially modified it, they might not be able to dial in the alignment on the 1st try and they have a feeling you might be back a few times to get it right.

A "Beemer" is a motorcycle and a "Bimmer" is an automobile. Nothing irritates a "Bimmer" owner than to have his auto referred to as a motorcycle..................
