I had the A-spec installed and they didn't need to realign my car. To be safe though I had 2 different shops do the free alignment check making sure I gave them the A-spec alignment specs. I know others have had similar experiences with not needing the alignment. See if you can get a free check somewhere and don't let on you have a new suspension or they might take you for a ride.

My alignment was off and needed adjusted after installing A-Spec suspension. I would recommend it. There is also different A-spec suspension settings that are listed in the directions. JUST HAVE THEM BE VERY CAREFUL ON YOUR A-SPEC RIMS THAT THEY DONT DAMAGE THEM WHILE THEY MOUNT THE ALIGNMENT TOOLS TO THE RIM. I would highly recommend mentioning it verbally and possibly even writing it on the sheet you sign before they do the work so they know if they mess them up...they will need to replace them.
My rims got flat spots on them durring the alignment process at both the dealer (made them replace all four rims) and then afterwards when I got the A-spec suspension installed at the body shop at a later date.(they denied it) That way, there is no questions!

$59.95 for an alignment with a coupon. Then he asked why I thought I needed an alignment. I responded that I installed the ASPEC suspension myself. He said then it's a minimum of 1 hour labor ($75) plus the $59.95 alignment fee.
Is there any good reason for this to be legitimate?

When I first bought my car the dealer said that it was natural for the 6mt to pull to one side-free alignment
. After installing the aspec sus myself the pull is back, headed to the dealer tomorrow for new alignment so not to destroy the new wheels and tires.
