Plans are to install lowering springs / tires / wheels then take the car to a shop on Saturday for alignment. Springs spec to drop 1.4" and from watching videos / reading posts I understand that is getting right to the point that the stock suspension may not allow for amount of camber adjustment to get back to OEM spec. For this reason I was going to install some basic adjustable control arms at the rear and SPC adjustable camber bolts up front just to cover all bases.
Per my instructions she mentioned this to them and pointed out that the new tires / wheels are very close to OEM dimentions so there should be no worries there.
The shop stated that they would have to charge double the normal fee due to working with an aftermarket / modified suspension and the normal warranty can not be provided.
I have not had a chance to talk to the shop yet to get their reasoning for this. Has anyone else ever dealt with this ??? Perhaps they figured it would be an easy story to sell a 50+ year old woman who drives up in a SUV? Only legit reason I can imagine is perhaps they worry it will be tracked and constantly back for warranty alignments after future upgrades ?
