hey i'm about to drop my car with tein basic coilovers...was wondering what was the average cost for a wheel alignment?

 

Not really sure.. I got a free alignment when I got my Eibach's put on. I got them installed and a 4 wheel alignment for 250 bux. I think I saw an alignment at the mitsu dealer for 70 bux? You would have to double check.. it might be less.

 

i paid 65 at pepboys for full electronic alignment. they did an awesome job!!

 

les schwab cost me $34.99 for a 4 wheel alignment

 

Make sure they use the most up-to-date electronic measuring alignment system. Still some hole-in-the-wall places using some archaic stuff. Also, if you have aftermarket rims, make sure they do use rubber or plastic against your rims when aligning. An average price, for a wheel/tire only shop is from $50 -70. I trust Discount Tire.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but anyone know what the factory alignment specs are for my ES? Just curious because I did some suspension stuff myself and want an alignment, but want the car to handle better on the highway than it does now and did before the suspension stuff, sort of wanders at highway speeds.

 

I was wondering if shops charge extra to adjust camber kits if you got ur car lowered.

 

they really shouldnt because other cars have camber adjustments from the factory, yours are just aftermarket, i dont see why they should.

 

yeah, no need to put in new camber kit. how low are you droping your's?

 

Not to jump your ****, but I use "archaic" stuff to do my own alignements for racing and they're more accurate than the guy down the street with more up to date equipment. How do I know? a neighbor went and had an alignment done and said it felt worse, even though the spec sheet had everything to spec for the car. I measured it up with a carpenter's square, a piece of string and a pocket ruler- sure enough not a single aspect was ACTUALLY in spec.

Now, for our original poster- you don't need an alignment. our camber is not adjustable from the factory, so all they'd be doing is toe anyway.

I guess I'm gonna have to be the evolved member to say it, but if you do an advanced search for alignment (or even DIY alignment) you'll find lots of stuff, and this particular question has been asked and answered several times.

 

40 dollars for a local garage shop....
