The only two shops I have used and personally trust would be Evolution Dynamics in Lewisville (the shop is owned by a mechanical engineer who used to work at Lockheed Martin), and Texas Track Works in Fort Worth. TTW specialize in suspension setups and have an on-site alignment rig.

Do them yourself and save that cash, did my eibach prokit and theres good DIY on here. After, drive it a bit to see if you need an alignment, check for vibration, check if it pulls left or right and if no real problems then it'll be fine if you just daily drive. But if you track or drift your car an alignment is needed, but you'll also need camber bolts too.

I would check with AWDTuning. They do great work

SECOND ON AWDTUNING. Probably the cheapest as well.

Thank you guys for the recommendations. I will give them a call today.

considering RCE or swift springs.
both will drop the car about an inch.

is the camber bolt absolutely necessary for an inch drop?

No but an alignment is. Texas Track Works does unlimited annual alignments for less than $200. They have a guy working there who used to create camber plates for Vorschlag. He dialed in my Evo IX perfectly.

Hey I reminded my cousin about you. He said he's been busy working on other car. He said to call him again and he will let you know.
