After lowering my 23, I drove it for about 40 miles to let everything settle and now its time for an alignment. My local tire and repair shop said they wont touch it because I lowered it. So does anyone know of a shop in or around the Cleveland area that will do an alignment on a lowered vehicle? It's obvious I need one, both back wheels are cambered in pretty bad.

This is the adjustment point that most shops and even dealers may not be aware of. Do this yourself and then go to the dealer for an alignment.

FYI, my Ford dealer in Fairlawn does Roush. They did NOT correct my rear camber the first time I went there after I installed my Steeda springs. After Unbroken found out the above adjustment point, I went back and said I wanted it corrected and they did.

Alternatively, White Wheel Aligning on Lorain Ave. is a go-to for many performance vehicles for aligning. You could print out the link above and bring it to them. https://www.whitewheel.com/

Ditto on dealer experience. Couldn’t get the rear close.

I'll print that out. Ironically I checked with a conrad's nearby and they recommended white's, I already went over there and have an appointment on the 24th.
