drewha174,

It's a must to get your alignment once the springs have settled. I have the prokits with Tokico shocks. I wanna know what your camber results (the shop will give you a computerized result of the alignment and this will include your camber results) will be. Can you let me know what the results are when you get them?

Thanks!

The dealer will most likely charge a lot more than shops like America's Tire Co., Sears, Midas, Goodyear, etc. It doesn't really matter where you get it. All these are computerized. I suggest you just go one of the shops I mentioned.

Just make sure you go to a place that deals with lowered cars... some of the mainstream places have those things you have to drive up on too high up... and so just ask them if they deal with lowered cars. My friend has been turned away in shame from NTB and Sears... :-/

What do you mean you couldn't get the alignment? You should be able to get it even if your camber is bad. And as I understand it, you'll be putting prokits so your camber shouldn't be all that bad. Are you sure you reall need one? If I remember it right, the CL manual says plus-minus 1 degree of camber is alright.
