Here is another option. Go to the marketplace, buy some stock springs and shocks, keep them together and just swap them out. It will be a cheaper way too.

Just get a lifetime alignment then have them do it for free everytime you raise or lower it. The one I got was just slighltly less than the cost of two alignments.

I went to an average ( maybe slightly below average ) sized school in small town USA, and I had a blast during my undergrad. It's all about the friends (frats help with this) you make and how you spend your college years. Sure, every time I go to Austin I wish I went to UT, but I had things to do at my UNI constantly, and there was never a weekend that I wasn't at a party or with friends at a bar. I'm sure Concordia has its share of nightlife, parties, and events. Also, if you have a gf...dump her now, it'll make college much more enjoyable

This is a pretty sweet school because the class sizes are small, and the school really does a lot of things to get you 'involved' and to make friends. The school looks like an awesome place to go.

^ awesome. Hope you enjoy it

Btw, on the line of the lifetime alignments. Doesn't that assume the shop will be around the areas you move to? Only company I could find with a quick google search was firestone. They seem pretty good.

Anyone have any problems getting cars realigned after getting suspension work? IE, did they recognize aftermarket suspension and deny you?

Yes, it changes the camber and toe. It can eat the insides of your tires.
