Alignment a no go at KIA

[Rango]

My Stinger is lowered with Eibachs and needed alignment after the springs settled. Was pulling a bit to the right. The KIA dealership's lift could not accommodate the drop ... so I went across the street.

Isn't it obvious? He traded in his Stinger for a used Porsche Boxter.

Let me guess, as you drove in all of the techs stopped what they were doing and cheered while snapping photos and asking "OMG WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT???"

Huh? No blocks to drive car onto for lift? That’s lame.

Took it to the Porsche dealership. They called the KIA dealership and got the specs.

how much did they charge if u don't mind me asking?

KIA would have charged $109. Porsche charged $160.

Aside from the lowering issues, I have read that many "Firestone" type places state that they do not yet have the capability to do the alignment. From what I saw, it had something to do with the calibration of the "lane keep assist" system. Does anyone know more about this?

The manual says to keep to the same tire and wheel sizes as OEM, or systems might malfunction. I think that lowering the car by any means would mess with the sensors.
