Alignment after lowering the car

I put some Tein Flex coilovers on my Evo. It's dropped 2" in the front and 1" in the back now. But I can't find anyone local to get an alignment done as the car is too low to get on a lift. Is everyone else with a lowered car have similiar problems anytime they take their car in to get work done?

anyways, you can take the front bumper off then align...

I had my hotchkis springs on before getting the alignment at this local hot rod shop. The manager was hesitant to do it, but since I talked to him prior to getting the alignment, they still did it. But usually they said they wouldn't really do it on lowered cars. Not sure why....

My Eclipse is lowered. The place that did the alignment after I dropped it 2" was supposedly the only place in my town that will align lowered cars. It could be a liability thing as to why shops won't do it.

Anyway, when I had it in to the dealer for some work all we did to get it on the lift, the kind where those 4 things swing in, was to have a person lift up on each fender so those swing things could get under the car.
