You are generally not going to get the same quality of alignment for $70 that you get for $150+. On the other hand, maybe what you get for $70 is good enough, in which case the extra money is just wasted. That's up to you to decide.
If spending $150 makes you feel better, great.

The shop that does mine uses the latest Hunter equipment and gets it to whatever spec I tell them... for $79.95 He takes his time because he knows i'm picky.

yeah my friend works at a firestone and that's where it was done at I guess he screwed it all up for some unknown reason but he was taking his time. I guess I will have the uk speck does anyone have the uk alignment on their ap2 and how does it feel, also I just ordered a whiteline front swaybar do you think I should install that before the alignment cause I'm due next week for the alignment but don't know if my bar will be in by next week. Yeah so far I will spend $350 at least just to get my alignment right, this is a pita cause a goodyear here wants $210 a NTB wants $300+ for the one year unlimited bs.

I got the uk spec (ap1) on my AP2. If your alignment guy does it right you'll love the difference. Go to reputable shop in your area to get it done, this way you won't have to keep fixing things and waste more $$$.
