You can string the car, but I've only done it once years ago. It's a real pain in the ****. I wouldn't recommend it though. Spend the $80

Its way cheaper to get it done at shop. Doing a back of the envelope cost benefit it will take you a minimum of a couple hours to even figure it out versus 1 hour for them to do it precisely to specs and give you a warranty! Spend the $ ITS WELL WORTH IT!

General question...so anytime you chan ge a front suspension component you require an alignment? So when I change my front lowers I will need an alignment?

Merchants Tire does alignments for $75 and I believe Fire Stone has a lifetime alignment deal for $150. Basically you pay $150 once and you get alignments whenever you want.

I know some places near me like Merchants etc are anywhere from 100-150 but thats with a 1 - 3 year warranty. I think my local Lexus dealer is a rip off too so I've used NTB and Merchants and have been satisfied. I also like the fact I can be out there with them while they do the work

You won't be flamed. We are all aware of the weather and still coming out. Like you said the percentages are low.
