hey guys
so i lowered my car, using teins and kyb's, now i needed to get alignment as i need to drive, so i had to take my car to canadian tire, which for you americans is basically taking it to the wal-mart auto dept. now the guy did it and thenc ame and said he wanted to do some grinding cause the camber in the front was wayyyy off. now have you guys had this problem? i recall reading that it was off but no bad at all, and then he wrote on my recipt that it is rediculous not to adjust it right now. so he wanted 100 bucks to do the grinding to fix the camber, what do you guys think? should i have done it?

front camber? or rear?? Cuz front you shouldnt need to adjust it unless he completely f-cked up the install, but the rear is adjustable just by the controll arm. I say take it to an actuall alignment shop compaired to Crappy T. Crappy is ok for gettin an oil change done or brakes, but for any thing aftermarket (aka lowering) take it to an alignment shop.

no, didnt do the camber kit, i recalled reading that since i wasnt lowering it too much, didnt really need it, and he wanted to mess with the front. i did the install so while it was my first time doing it, i am fairly confident it was done properly, had the how-to and had a mechanic friend who has done it before help me. the car doesnt pull to one side or anything so i think its alright, but im gonna go to a proper alignment shop just incase, pay to do it twice but at least i know it will be done right.
