Anyone know about how much it costs? And what does "lifetime" entail? I can't find it on the firestone website.

i have it for both my wagon and coupe
i was swapping different suspensions, springs, and full bodied coilovers and knew i would be adjusting the height and camber to where i needed it
i have taken my wagon three times and the coupe four times so it has paid for itself already but i swap components more often than your average person
i you plan on adjusting height or camber one than one time then i would recommend getting the lifetime
sometimes they have it for 120 instead of 170

firestone will screw the alignment up even worse than what you brought it in. common misconception is fwd cars need front end alignment only. the rear will affect steering and straightness...it's the first thing you adjust when you do an alignment. take it from someone that has done alignments.

with that being said my alignment guy used to worked at tire kingdom and left to firestone. he has a sedan cb and that is how i started to know the guy, he is ase certified in suspension and has always done both front and rear
i can't say the same about every other firestone though

i didn't know that there was a certification for strictly heads(never knew anyone who was more so ever)
how exactly would it be repaired without compromising integrity.

They tend to get frustrated if you visit more than once a month
But I was just about to do that, then the only Firestone nearby closed down and went out of business.

I guess if you get 2 you get your moneys worth, 3 you come out ahead.
Questions...is this a toe only correction "alignment" or a full on camber/caster/toe? A place I took the sentra too charged $85 for a 4 wheel caster/camber/toe alignment (they had a toe only for cheaper...we needed all).
and will they align lowered cars?
do they align moddified cars at all or ONLY cover "typical wear and tear of parts" I know lifetime warranties will not cover say...if you put on aftermarket adjustable ball joints or shocks...etc____
