Lowered W203...where to get alignment done?
I have a lowered c55 and I believe the previous seller included the alignment sheet with the car but that shop is not in the area.


Would a dealer be able to align it properly considering its lowered? Its not slammed or anything but definitely not stock height.

I am located in Sacramento, CA. If one of you guys live here and know a place please share.

The front only has toe adjustments. If you want to adjust camber and caster, you need the slotted alignment bolts. Also called crash bolts. About $20 a pair, and you may need 2 pair.
The rear has toe only too, but you need special bushings to adjust camber. They can be found on eBay and other places.
If you just need toe set, any shop can do it.

Ill have to look at the alignment spec sheet.

Why would I need two sets of alignment bolts for front? Unless you meant one for front and one for the rear?

There are 2 lower control arms on the front suspension. You may need to put bolts on BOTH arms, each side, to get the camber / caster you want.
Each bolt is good for about 0.42 degrees camber, but they also affect caster.
Here's good info on what,where, and why...
