Does this sound right...$150 for alignment?
Ok so i install my camber kit (Eibach with camber/toe) and i take it to a local shop to get the alignment done...they all tell me its going to be $150+ because its a lowered car with a camber kit.... IMHO thats ******** cuz ive had it done for cheaper, but i couldnt find a local shop who would do it for cheaper....:/ what do you think...

just got mine done after lowering on s-techs and installing raer camber arms...
only paid 75$ for alignment, but sometimes they will run into trouble getting it back to specs... thats probably why they quote you so high...
they told me it was 75$ to start, but since it was lowered, it may take longer so they would bill by the hour... guy got it done in about 45 minutes... and that was at big'o say id say look around a bit more...

A "normal" alignment runs about $79-$89. Once you do a major modification to the suspension, the difficulty of getting it back in spec is greater than the OEM setup, so I can understand them charging a premium for it. 2X normal might be a little high though.

this is the best part, i just got the car back and the toe is still off by 2 degress...its pigeon toed....****....i cant drive this **** at all....theres 500 down the drain, (springs, kit, and alignment)....ill post pics of my rear end
Maybe your suspension pieces aren't installed correctly.
my dub was scraping on the ground like 3 inches lowered on 19's and I was charged $150... steeper like it has been said but it was done right. I haven't gotten my z aligned yet but from what I hear it can be done right for about a bill.
If you are truly unsatisfied try Glenn's Alignment in Costa Mesa. They accept appointments (1 to 1 1/2 hour wait). I now live in Chino Hills and they are worth the drive.
well we put the toe bolt in backwards to make it easier to adjust, but talking to some ppl made me realize that i just need to drop the sway bar and do it correctly, which i just did...i came in quickly to check the forums to see if i can try to manually adjust the toe...so far it looks much better tho...FML lol
well im trying to adjust the toe right now, i redid the bolt and put it back in the correct way, but no matter how i adjust the toe, it still is at an angle...ive maxed it out both ways an still not lining up right....
