well i went to Wheel Works and i asked them to align my car, and they asked if i had camber kits. I told them i had a camber kit all around. I paid 100$ for the alignment. no idea if they were highballing me or anything.

Yeah some shops will rip you off big time. I got a quote from some place not mentioning that I already had a camber kit installed. They had charges for the alignment, labor cost per side, parts cost for front and rear, etc and came out to almost $600. I found another place that charged me $145 and all he did was adjust the rear camber kit I had and set all the toes back to O along with aligning it. Definitely shop around and ask who is recommended.

They even straightened my crooked TL steering wheel. It rides SOOOOO much better now. I was on 19s and never aligned it for over a year. Stupid on my part. /OT story

it shouldnt cost extra because they have to adjust the arms...if youre going there for an alignment then adjusting the camber arms is part of the alignment.

I've never paid more than $80, even letting the shop know I'm lowered beforehand. My first alignment took 4 hours for some reason, and now that I do them myself I would be happy to pay someone $20 more to adjust the rear arms, they're a huge pain in the ***.
