If they can’t do it you might need a man with some string

I've had 2 cars done at kerrs Carrick, both lowered on coilovers no issues. Camber/caster/toe aligned to my specs.
What equipment do you need?

Gavin at Blackline Performance just off the Moira roundabout does this now. Proper Hunter laser system and is happy to set to your own specifications if required.

Fosters have a new big depot in white mountain might have the equipment, I take my drift car to their one in the cutts to get aligned and it’s lowered

That's where I ended up going to
Depends on how low it is and if you have enough adjustment in standard arms or aftermarket that allow enough adjustment
if you don’t have the above you likely won’t actually set the car up properly if it’s beyond adjustment of standard items.

I thought Ivan's in Carrick got new lower floor lifts for 4 wheel alignments for that exact reason.
Wonder what a corgi alignment setup gives you over a hunter setup

Said something about being able to screw something on

The Hunter system clamps on the the tyre rather than screwing on to the wheel. Another other system screws on to the alloy wheel (ouch!).
There is a low-rent Hunter system that screws on to the wheel but I can’t think of anywhere in N.I. that has that version.
If the vehicle is lowered so low that the wheel arches covers the tyres, then your only option is to try pretty much any other system.
Reason being is that clearance is needed to allow for the rolling compensation.

Dragging yet another old thread up to ask who to take a lowered jdm car, not that low tbh but low enough to need someone who can do it and also set a bit of camber? Was plannning to go to Ivan Kerr in Carrick but this thread has me unsure, are all these recommendations still valid? Cheers
He can do it as long as there’s a finger width space between the arch and tyre
Yeah that should be available, and if I was adding adjustable rear arms or camber plates even, he can do that too?
@RubberLover although it might be quicker to ring
