He charged me $240 for the whole job, which I consider a bargain in light of his skill.
Do you mind sharing your alignment specs?

I bet you can eric

I'm going to check it out in the morning and well see. from the pics dave sent me it looks easy. I really like the guys that are doing the work but $100 savings is like the price of a light wieght battery or saving money to buy some coilovers this winter. I'm sure thier price is reasonable but I rather actually buy somthing with in insid of paying someone to do work for me.

I just realized I need the longer bolts and don't have them. Do any of you all know how long the new ones need to be?

Rear negative camber 2.5 deg., 3/16 toe

Front negative camber 2.8 deg., 0 toe
Front caster 6.5 deg.

That's all I know. It's a track day car, not a full-on race car. I asked Darin why not more negative camber in the rear and he gave me an explanation that went over my head. I let him decide the alignment specs, since he's the expert and I'm not.

What longer bolts? If you need longer bolts then you did something wrong. Re-use the stock ones.

Thanks for the confirmation Nick! I was wondering if I was losing my mind or blind as a bat.

the long bolts are needed when you have the optional roll center adjustment plates (L1)
