I know many people have had and are continuing to have problems getting a quality alignment on their 3G's. The fact of the matter is that if you are paying sub $100 for an alignment from any place that works for the masses you are probably getting a crap alignment. You really only have two options for a good alignment: Pay a shop that builds track cars for a proper job or do it yourself.

The 3G Prelude is actually pretty awesome as nearly every setting is adjustable from the factory, but it does make for a more involved alignment process. Just follow the steps in order and you will finish with a superior alignment that you know is right. The initial investment for this is more than what you pay for a cheap alignment but it quickly pays for itself after you do a few of your own.
