did you get an alignment before? after you put on the previous camber kits?


really, all you need to do is fix the toe. that happens when you get an alignment.


really. you dont need camber kits.

So have you had your alignment adjusted at all? Or are you just expecting these kits to magically correct all your problems?!

i got a lifetime alignment warranty from Firestone. You pay once (think it was like $180) and every time after that its free, or like $60 for one time. You can also go to Darin at WestEnd alignment, but its going to be pricey.

Was recommended to me by my regular mechanic when I asked for a very non-standard alignment. Been there several times with different cars. Always incredible service.

No issues with custom alignment settings, custom parts, or lowered cars.
