Spring, camber kit install w/ alingment = $230 ?

[BlairSpeed]

A local shop wants $230 for spring, camber kit install INCLUDING an alignment. Is this a good deal or should i keep shopping? I dont have any tools or anything, so i cant do it myself.

Doesn't seem to bad...

As long as they can get all of the alignment angles within
specification....

You should have them install the camber kit and springs, drive it
around for a day so the springs can set then have them align it...

how bad is the ride without an alignment?

Ride isnt horrible, but tire wear is!

230 for spring, camber kit, and alignment is not a bad deal at all.
Im paying a few bucks less than that for camber kit & alignment next week! (already paid 125 for spring install)

I'd say roll with it, but a few extra phone calls never hurt anyone!

very good deal.

best i found was 180 for spring and camber. with an alignment we end up being about the same

that is a very good/reasonable price, that works out to $150 install and $75 for a 4-wheel align.

i paid $165 for spring install, $110 for an alignment and camber kit i did myself.

how hard was the camber kit to install your self ?

[kidXStreme]

i paid $120 for spring install, and $60 dollars for an alignment.

total damage=$180

p.s- seems like a good price.

if you already have the parts and just want the install, CCAutotuners in whittier will do install and alignment for less than 140. Install for 80-85 and alignment for 45. http://www.ccautotuners.com/ tell them gil referred u hehe=)

I only installed the rear. It was easy. Look at the how-to on k-series.com. I think it took me like an hour at the most.

Guys,

lets settle this once and for all:

OK, from what I understand...if the car is NOT dropped more than 1.5" - camber kit not needed. Is this info correct?

Springs that drop 1.5" or less (Tein, Eibach) any others? any preference?

For performance sake, 1.5" would be the max anyway right??

Any input or feedback is greatly appreciated.

i got spring install, camber, and alignment for $30 :)

If you're going to lower the car more then 1", I would recommend a camber kit for at least the rear. Anymore then 1.5" and you should get both front and rear kits. I have Neuspeed Race w/ the Ingalls and my car drives just like stock, but better. :cool:
