Just pay the $60 to get it done right, so that you don't end up paying more to fix what you screwed up trying to do it yourself:squint:

You can buy Lifetime allignment from Firestone for about $130. The only catch is that they don't cover lowered vehicles and they adjust the camber, unless you bought the camber kit from them.

you should just get it done for 60. I've been to 5 shops around here and they won't work on my car because its too low... you're pretty lucky.

nice i guess i'll just buy the rack then huh, just kidding. But one of the reasons i was asking if i could do it myself was because, i had seen this one guy do it(shop owner of Garage Kwai, arlington heights, il.) . When i bought my camber kit, instead of getting a wheel alignment afterwards, he just eyeballed the alignment and camber and it was pro. So I'll change the question a little, When the guy was eyebaling my alignment what was he really looking at and fiddling with so maybe i could give it a go? But u guys bring up another good point about how i could mess it up, so thanks!
