Need major alignment done. Factory spec, or else?

Hi.

After hitting a curb durring winter that killed a steel rim, and after lowering my car, I feel that everything is messed up, including chamber, toe-in/out and caster....

So I want to know were to take it to (NorthYork/Scarborough area) and what spec have the alignment tuned to factory or else). I'm using H&R sports with Tokico HPs, and 15" rims with 195/50/15 directional tires.

Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest wheel and tire zone but I'm not sure if they have an alignment rack in the scarborough location.. they do in the mississauga location .....

i'd vouch for wheel and tire zone... not sure what the "factory specs" are but i just told them to point all my wheels perfectly straight and they did... good alignment just makes you feel a lot better when driving you car

Any and all shops with an alignment rack will have the specs for your vehicle. Its in the computer they use to set-up and read the settings. Specific dealerships will not if its an off brand car from what they service - just 'cause they don't care or want the business. Facorty specs are what they are for a reason, and it doesn't matter if the vehilce is lowered or not, stright is stright and - camber is - and + is +, etc. Usally though a little 1 degree or so of negitive camber is better for handling.
