should you in fact go with them to handle the alignment on the new parts. Alignments have to be done with the weight of the car on the wheels, which pretty much makes adjusting the AUCAs impossible with the wheels on. Which means the car has to be relifted, wheels taken off, AUCA adjusted, wheels put back on, camber rechecked, rinse repeat. The first time I got an alignment with my AUCAs and new springs, I thought it was fishy that they got it done without taking the wheels off. But they gave me one of those "gee-whiz" digital printouts that "proved" to me that it was good to go, so I thought nothing of it until I saw the wear 9 months later while the car was on a lift and I was changing the oil. I had looked at the tires while the car was on the ground but never really turned them all the way out or examined them off the ground, it was then that it was much more apparent that I still had camber-related wear problems. Good luck, I envy you if you get good alignments for 60 bucks locally. I go to a shop 350 miles away while visiting friends and family a couple times a year, and it still costs me about 120.
