Default Help with wheel alignment specs...

Ok, tell me how screwed up my wheels are... Les Schwab tried to charge my mom $500 to fix my **** (I'm out of town, so she took it in). Heres the specs:

F.Left F.Right
Camber: -1
Caster: .4
Toe: -.33 & .03 .25 & .03 (The first number is in a column labeled "Before" and the second is in column labeled "actual"). The first values are way off of the specified range.


R.Left R.Right
Camber: -1.5 -2.3
Toe: .06 -.27 & .02 (before & actual)

The car is lowered 2.5 inches with goldline springs, and has a camber kit.

everything is within spec. but i would beat the sh!t out of the guy for trying to charge that much. 4-wheel alignments only cost $90 MAX! and he can't say anything about labor because integras only take 20-25 minutes(i know from experience).

on another note, what do you think about your goldline springs? what shocks are you running? and how does it handle?

The car is now my sisters (:ghey: ), but the shocks are stock. I like the way they feel, they are pretty smooth. The H&R springs handled much nicer, but these aren't far behind.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put in what he wanted to install

Adjustable ball joint x 2 = $182.84
Alignment labor = $90
Adjustable Arm x 2 = $124.42
Alignment labor = $65
Four wheel alignment = $69.95
Total: $532.21



I dont know why they tried to sell her all this, my mom must have gone in there and said the word "thingy" too much.

go back and ask why he aligned it 3 times. he could do all that in one alignment.
