ok, an average alignment costs about 50-100 depending on where you go. you should not scrape if you dont go crazy fast over bumps and, you need to cut your rear bumpstops about 1 cm. any more questions?

you dont need to cut your bumpstops. some do some dont, depends on your driving. my friend lowered with Tenzo-R and didnt cut the bump stops . all depends on if you nail it or baby it.

they stop your frame from slamming together, they are rubber "nipples" at the top the the rear shocks, you might be able to see them if you look.
