if you get lowering springs plan on getting caster/camber plates. I dont care what you fix, without those on an aftermarket suspension you will rape tires.

I already have them on there. Thanks for looking out though.
And no, I don't plan on lowering the car.

And here is what I was told.....

The engine cradle is off and needs to be repositioned to provide proper caster.
Strut slot/tower needs to be reassembled. (They plan to move it over a bit?)
Ad an alignment is needed.
Estimated cost by specialty shop including labor and parts: 300.00

What do you think?

It said that it was off from probably a hit to the front. Also the strut towers were slightly off and they would move them over a tad to make the towers aligned.

"The engine cradle is off and needs to be repositioned to provide proper caster."
almost sounds like they are planning to put it on a frame machine

They also put in on a frame machine.
It wasn't off that much on the frame machine.
