P.S. Pay extra if you can and get the lifetime alignment (free alignments for the rest of the ownership of the vehicle, some places let you even transfer it to another car). Your car is getting sort of old and suspension parts are probably starting to deteriorate. This means eventually you'll need new ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. and most suspension parts require you to have an alignment after they are replaced. You'll save a lot of money in the long-run... I just paid for lifetime alignment a few days ago, and I really wish I had paid for it 5 times ago. If you get it, get it at the shop you would prefer to use most frequently.

Also, drive on the lowered springs for a week or two before getting an alignment to allow the springs to settle first. Just don't forget about it.

What shops give lifetime alignments? Im in need of an alignment now and I plan on doing a coilover setup in the summer. Be nice to only pay once.

I got mine at Tires Plus. It cost $180 and I can also transfer it to another vehicle once.

How odd that I have had them on 2 civics and never had one blow out. Also autocrossed. If they made it through that they are more than fine for his daily driver.
