Dealing with Shops about an Alignment
Planning on an alignment following install of TEIN S Tech on my
2000 ES.
I've been calling around for prices for alignment - getting B.S. from some shops about how "if it's been dropped its going to be more work", may need camber kit, etc., almost like it's a big deal. :x
Is it better to just drive in for the alignment without telling them about the
spring install? Trying to avoid the rip-off ..

if u dont tell them that u have spring installed then they will do the alignement with the same orignial galant suspension specs..i dont see the point of doing that..so find a shop that do aftermarket alignement..

yes....correct....that's exactly what he wants. are there "aftermarket" alignment specs? no. factory specs is the only place you want to be.
no matter how little you drop it, even 0.5" will affect your camber and toe. it won't be that much, but you'll notice uneven tire wear, most likely premature wear on the inside track of the tires
