Sounds about right to me. I think that is about what I paid. What type of guaranty?

Well, if you got coilovers, I'd go for that, so you can get it done everytime you adjust them.
If you got TRDs, I'd go for lifetime cause you're probably wanna go lower in a year (I did!)
And if you got dropped more then say 1.75, I'd go with the lifetime cause your gonna need new shocks in a couple years, so you'll need another allignment then.

make sure that the lifetime alignment applies to suspension changes. i bought a "lifetime alignment" and they would not honor it because i changed my ride height.
btw i pay $59 for a 4 wheel alignment that is gaurenteed for life at tires way(excluding suspension changes).

I got my lifetime alignment from "firestone", its been great and well worth the 150. I drop my car off everytime after I get the 5000 mile service from the dealer. I have TRD's and before I purchased the alignment I had asked the store manager and he said they'll honor it. I've been to 4 different firestones so far around So. Cal, non of which had a problem with the adjusted height from stock.

59.00-100.00 If you do decide to do it choose lifetime. Your suspension is subjected to wear and tear and Alignment changes when its subjected to wear and tear

Seeing that you live in West Cov. Go to Brake Masters. I got new tires from Discount Tires and they recodmended me to go to Brake Masters. They gave me a coupon for $39.95. The closest one is on Reservior and Mission in Pomona. I'm going there on Sat. after I get the suspension installed.

BTW, I'm a newbie to the site and this is Post #1 for me.

i gonna get a lifetime alignment at firestone. They can lower the price to $130 for lifetime. I need this becuz my tires is leaking air. It's been almost 4 weeks and my tires need to be aligned. I've been busy so I couldnt have time. I'm probably going to get lifetime since I might get some new 18 or 19 inch rims with 225/35 tires. So thats gonna be my biggest investment I would make to my car is buying new wheels.
