Just spoke to Firestone about the lifetime alignment and they informed me that they sell it only for non-lowered cars. Mine's not lowered so not a problem for me, but may be for some of you guys. Also there is an online coupon valid for this weekend only, but only $25 off of $100 or $50 off of $200.

Firestone has alot of fine print conditions from my experience with them. It might vary from location to location, but make sure they'll actually honor a lifetime alignment on YOUR car. Don't take their word for it...bring it in and show them. I have yet to see a shop that will do lifetime custom alignments with no restrictions...and the few places that used to, stopped doing it because they lost so much money from track junkies bringing their car in multiple times over a short period of time.

Did they say anything about their policy regarding lowered vehicles?

If your going to firestone take a look online for coupons or at least haggle some. I believe they had a $50 off $150 coupon online a while ago ($130 lifetime alignment FTW).
I got mine there for 80 bucks! I've always been happy except for the one time I had it done by the new guy and he screwed it all up. But I still go back when I know my buddy will be working on it, can't beat free work
Hey brad

I just got my alignment done at Alignment plus in san marcos, talk to George, he did an EXCELLENT job and the car handles great now! It used to be somewhat twitchy when the rear would slide, it would slide and grip in quick succession. Now I can actually feel the tail end begin to step out and hold itself there in a very smooth manner. Im running -2.5deg in the back with 0.2 toe, and -1.9 in the front with 0 toe. Tell him Carlo with the black s2k told you.

well just got my lifetime alignment done @ firestone in Mira Mesa. Paid 180 and they align to my specs. Happy to know that I can go whenever I want to get an alignment and try new settings w/o having to pay again...ever
