Default Shop can't align my car (HELP)

So I've gotten my tC lowered with Tein S-Tech and TRD struts. The shop says the car is so new they don't have the settings to align on their computer. Does anyone have the correct measurement readings from their lowered tC?

I've got 18x7.5 with 225/40/18 tires.

Thanks in advance.

Hey you might what to find a shop that does alingments by hand, manually (not by computer). In my experence the shops that do it by hand cost a little more, but it stays aligned longer. Good luck.

Try calling some performance tune shops.

Thanks. I've tried that already and all of them take it to another shop to get aligned. Would the settings be similar to lets say the new Corolla or Matrix? I think I'm going to call Mike Lane at Toyogobo. He's the one cut me a killer deal on the struts. Any other ideas?
