Baker Tuning, the alignment machine even works with super slammed cars like mine.

They're not a very import-centric shop, no, but they are pretty nice guys, they know what they're doing, and they've been around a while.

what do you guys think about NTB alignment? I hear they do lowered cars as well and for 275 you get 5 year unlimited alignment with whatever specs you want.

I guess it depends on how well you know the particular NTB and whether you trust them to not mess up your car. As with anything else, you get what you pay for.

I'm going to try out Pro Tuning Performance out in fort worth (Pro Tuning Performance - Dallas Fort Worth's Premier Road Race Performance Center - Homepage). They have top notch equipment and their prices aren't bad.

But for Houston, I'd probably go to Baker tuning so at least you have some piece of mind.

^^ Sweet, I just called them and their prices are pretty good.

It is a pretty far drive but I think It'll be worth the trip. especially knowing that the alignment is done right with the right tools.

I went to Baker Nissan and Jason did the aligment. I am within specs, but since I have 20mm spacers all around my rear tires are poking a little bit. Can't dial more neg camber bc toe is maxed out. I will be back next weds to install the toe bolts that came with the spc rear kit. Thanks all for the recommendations!
