^Yeah he just installed a shiet load of upgraded suspension parts (toe bolts, control arms, mid, rear upper and lower braces) He went to get an alignment this morning though. We weree just amazed at the way it sat after the install.

Mine was about the same after we did my rear camber/ toe bolts. Adjusting it by eye when its up on the lift causes some crazy camber/ toe when it set down. Then i had to drive over 20 miles like that to get to the only firestone that can get my car up on their lift. Now im happy with all my specs.... after 3 alignments in one week. Firestone lifetime alignment FTW!

So do I, and 3 different shops say im too low.. The only Firestone that can accomidate me is about 20 miles from my house. The other 3 stores want me to sign a wavier stating if they rip my bumper off its not their fault or just completey remove the bumper each time I go for an alignment. Sucks because one of the shops is literally .5 miles from my house.Oh well, ive deffinetly got my money's worth already. 3 alignments in one week after installing different parts at different times.

I agree! And they don't even bitch about it when you bring it in, and they've never tried to upsell any service or repairs. I don't abuse it, I just go after I swap summer/winter wheels, or feel pulling.
I DO however walk in and just ask "Hey, got time for a quick 4-wheel alignment?" and when they say "sure, we'll get it right in! 45 minutes!" I THEN say "ok, great. I've been here before for the lifetime alignment"

None of this "Oh, 2 hr wait" stuff.



(toe bolts, control arms, mid, rear upper and lower braces
Make me want to spend more money

I got the alignment originally, then added spacer's and went back for and alignment, didnt like the spec so i had spc rear camber arms/ toes bolts installed and brought it back and they still treat me with excellent customer service! Firestone FTW!

Try picking up your car after it got all the suspension goodies installed along with a turbo kit.. And you just have to resist boosting because when you do, you skid into the other lane of traffic =0. I got an alignment asap the following day lol.. Couldn't resist the boost temptation
