# Dont' go to them.. Kevin.. they're ripping you off>>

Specialty Prod's website calls for .25 hour per side install time. Thats only 1/2 an hour.. maybe $30 tops.. A good alignment from a professional shop with a laser rack should be $90-100 TOPS.. seriously.. thats way on the steep end. A good 4 wheel alignment is usually only in the $60-70 range. Oh and I wouldn't mention the car is lowered.. just take it in... 9 out of 10 times they won't even say anything unless they can't pull it into spec (excessive lowering.. like over 2-2.5")... Last time I had my car aligned (lowered max) I took it to a local undercar and alignment shop.. only charged $65 and never said a single thing.. got a printed chart of "before/after" results as well so I could see what they pulled each wheel to..
