yes they will charge you if they will even do it. just take it to like tire discounters or a place like that that does alignment. and yes you will need an alignment. or you could just as easily go to autozone and rent spring compressors and put them on yourself then go get the car aligned.

dealer will rape you, if they will even do the install. if you can't do it yourself, try to find a local member to help you, or have a local shop do it. you should never go to the dealer for ANYTHING except warranty and/or free work. if you're paying at the dealer, you're getting ripped off.

well i live in indiana and would rather have someone professional do it, i mean i can do all the car audio stuff, but would rather leave the actual safety and drivability to the professionals
im in between the zenn and eibach sportline springs, both drop the same, but are a little differently priced... any suggestions?

My dealer said they would do it, but they want the warranty expired first.
I would normally say dont even go to the dealer, but when safety is an issue, it cant hurt to be careful.
If you arent comfortable doing your self, it might not be worth the risk.

Just call around to brake and performance shops... to have it done!
It's not a hard job to do, you just have to have the right tools, and dealers arent perfect either!

what? 50 bucks to install and align? thats at least 3-4 hours of labor worth of work. That deal is retarded cheap, I dont believe it... You cant run a business with rates like that!!
But you dont have to bring that kind of work to the dealer in the first place, any regular independent repair shop can do that, and probably do a better job. And yes you need a 4 wheel alignment afterwards.
tint all the way around will run you between 150-200 bucks anywhere u go
