Tried to get a wheel alignment done at Hornsby beaurepairs (recommended by MX5 Mania) yesterday, but with no luck. My car was too low to get up on the hoist! Any ideas where else could help me and 'slammed' car?

My car is not that low (king springs with 15 inch wheels).

Try Spinning Wheel at Alexandria/Waterloo.

After being recommended by the guys from this forum (see thread), I got my car done there. They have very up-to-date equiptment.

They have the "drive on" style hoist which should be compatible on lowered cars.

But I'm surprised, Beaurepairs didn't lift your car with a jack first then they place the hoist arms under? They do this at MX5 Mania all the time.

Marks & Wallings in Artarmon have the drive on hoists and all the latest gear. Stefan set my car up very well and I would recommend him to anyone. I drove in with no appointment and the car was on a hoist in minutes. Great communication during the process. I was under the car the whole time. Fascinating stuff...

cheers will give them a try.

Ando - nice rear subframe brace, do you recommend it?
