NTB has alignment packages (3 year, 5 year) and you can go as often as you want. This is interesting about the Coit/Bush location - I have yet to find one that was knowledgeable about aftermarket suspension and camber adjustment. I will be hitting them up. What is the guy's name who does it?

turning down your hearing aid FTL!!

I said everyone charges different.. I've seen it done from 70 bucks (total) to 100 bucks per side... It all depends on what you need.. If you need just a roll, it is going to be cheaper than if you need a roll and a pull.. Every application is different..

You have meaty rear tires, you're already poking from what Brit and I saw.. (pause)
If you were to just get a roll, you're prolly going to need a pull as well or you'll be running some major negative camber (more than my -3 degrees) in the rear.


Dam I don't like these beefy *** tires. Anyone want to trade me? 285's in the back

I would never trust a Firestone or NTB with an aftermarket setup. Those machines are meant for stock setups. They don't comprehend aftermarket very well. Also, in line with what Brit mentioned, generally these places are clueless about suspension beyond "low creates negative camber". Shops are the better place to go for quality alignments.

Cobb took good care of me for $100 and change and the machine they've got is freakin amazing. It's designed to support things that are specifically set to not in spec, which speaks volumes for a machine like that.

Oh, another comment... ebay suspension parts (aka knock off brands) of any kind, ESPECIALLY coilovers... BAD IDEA IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. Just because one other person on the forum said he/she liked it, I would greatly reconsider the understanding that person has on good suspension.

Just cuz its on ebay doesnt mean its bad or good. Everything eventually gets copied and sold for cheap. Just depends on how many middlemans there are. As for alignments, it just depends on whos doin the work. There are some shops that dont have the fancy racks and machines and do it the old school way and they can get you just as good as the fancy machines if not better. I hear what your saying chris but it all comes down to experience and knowledge. You get the right tech at a ntb or firestone that works on modded cars frequently and they will do some amazing work with what they have. To find one of those persons at a shop that you can get a 5yr warranty or lifetime warranty is priceless

The term "get what you pay for" doesn't exist for a reason. There's a reason things are replicated and sold cheap.

And in regards to techs at NTB and Firestone. If they're that good, they don't work there. And yes, one of the best places in Dallas in my opinion is Dallas Frame & Alignment. They don't have a single machine IN the place. They do it all the old school way.
