Too high for the kit install. Its an easy job to install that kit, cant quite figure why it would take two hours.
70bucks with tax? I paid 70 incl tax at firestone. Not the cheapest but I think they did a good job.

if you go to any firestone they have a $150 for lifetime alignment... I've got it on all 4 cars in our household... good deal and you can take it to any firestone you want (they're all over the country)

I went to a local firestone that the Acura dealer recommended me to go to. and guess what? They won't align my car cause it's lowered. Talk about unprofessionals. and they wanted to charge me $85.

Elegant : my civic back when I was in highschool was lowered with camber and everything... my local firestone was more than happy to do my alignment (which Igot done once every 4-6 months or so), they even corrected my camber kit if it was necessary... as a matter of fact a guy at the firestone installed my camber kit for me for really cheap just b/c he was a fellow auto enthusiast... you just get lucky depending on which fireston you go to...

$89.99 at Brake Check for my lifetime alignment. Also, if that is the price for front and rear camber, then that seems to be in the ballpark.

49.99 is asking price with no tires... if you tires/rims... maybe $25

Four-wheel alignments run around $40-75 depending where you take it.

Camber kits aren't exactly so easy to install... you need an impact hammer to get rid of the old parts in the front. But I'm sure it's not the worst install in the world, just wouldn't say it's as easy as a CAI.
