Those of you who have had an alignment with camber bolts(of course a lowered car)...

I got an estimate form an awesome company(www.autoaddictions.com) and they want $80 to align it(understandable) and about $120 to put the camber bolts in. He said it was a "b!tch" to put them in like an hour a side. So the total would be aorund $200. Anyone who has had camber bolts put in an had an alignment, your input would be greatly appreciated

I have not had it done but I'm sure I need it done. My wheels lean in it looks as if my wheels want to buckle under the car. I guess I need the camber bolts.

I just put in some camber bolts the other day and it definately didnt take that long! I only spent about 40 minutes doing it and I work pretty slow. I didnt have an alignment done afterwards, I just set it to the full positive setting. I would just do the install yourself, or find a different shop.

seems steep for the bolt install, it should be partially included in the alignment. alignments are 65 ish around here, no matter how much time they need

Kevin that place wants to shaft you. I have camber bolts in the front and they cost me $50.00 from the tire shop and then another $50.00 to align. To put them in all you have to do is the two bolts where the strut is bolted on at the bottom is to remove the top one and then replace it with camebr kit bolt and then when being aligned they adjust it. Don't pay no more than $120.00 with alignment.
