Default getting an alignment after drop...

hey guys

i plan on running s.techs on my stock shocks, and i know i have to get an alignment after i lower the car to get the toe set properly so my tires dont die.

some people have recommended me to take a car to a performance tuning shop, and some others have recommended me to take it to a regular firestone or major chain store.

does it really matter where i take it? my car isnt that modified, and i dont even have a camber kit (dont plan on getting one). the costs are relatively the same...$60ish dollars for all 4.

what are your opinions?

I took mine to a regular shop when I lowered mine on eibach springs the first time. I brought it in and asked for an alignment. They asked if I had done anything crazy to it, and said 'nope'. They brought it in, and did it just like any car.

I think most people have problems because they go in talking about all the mods they've done, or how their suspension is all crazy, and they don't want to touch it. You should be fine. Most can't tell the difference between slightly lowered and stock cars.
