How much to get my car aligned....

Hey everyone, ok i know it costs like $60 to get a car aligned, but i just put my drop on it and a camber kit. Anyone know how much an alignment usually costs for a car with a camber kit on it? Thanks.

make sure the shop will adjust rear camber, i found out not all will (even if you have a kit)

For the place I went to, a stock car alignment would cost $70. But a lowered car with a camber kit alignment cost me $130 total because it takes more work to get the camber kit alignment done once the car is lowered.

Totally ghey. I'd look for other shops, then. Should NEVER cost more than about $70.

I slammed my car on coilovers, went to Firestone, paid around $150 for their lifetime alignments, and have been enjoying them free of charge ever since.

I had to drive 40 miles to get a shop to do it for 60

I agree there, I paid $90 for my lifetime alignments and enjoy getting them for free anytime I like.

But it all depends on the shop you go to, some charge more to align a dropped car, just search around first though.

If anything, it should be the same for them because you have the camber kit on there. Just because the car is lowered, doesnt mean they will have a harder time doing it. The only problem they would have is if you didnt have a camber kit on there. Then they wouldnt be able to get it corrected. But it also depends on how low you are dropped. Sometimes if you are dropped just a bit, they can still get it corrected without a camber kit.
