Is your car lowered or stock height?

The reason I ask is that if it's stock, then the shop will be able to align it, no problem...if your lowered than it could be costly to get to an OEM camber. I am lowered 30mm with some coil-overs and the oly way to get my rear negative camber back to OEM limits is to purchase new and very expesive longer custom toe links. I think the set of 4 runs around $1,500 then another alignment and corner balance which brings the grand total of around $2,000 at least. I decided to save the couple grand and apply the dollars saved to additional tire rotations of actually swapping the tire to the other side every 15,000 miles or so.

keep in mind, though, that the euro spec camber for the RoW heights are more aggressive, so the OEM settings can be -1.9 or so and still be within tolerance if your car is lowered.
