were to go for alignment in San Antonio area?
I need an alignment and have the K-Mac front kit on its way. I have MikeR's in the back. My camber is too - and needs to be fixed so I don't have to buy tires every 8 months. Any recomendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
What about installing K-Mac? just want to get an idea of what an install would cost to see if I need to tackle this myself in the Texas heat
Ritchie Automotive in Boerne will install the front K-Mac for $135.00, add a 4 wheel alignment for a total of $200.00, DEAL!

Ritchie Automotive took a little longer than they had expected, the cheap tool that came with the K-Mac to get the old bushes out didn't work. I think I even had the new updated removal tool that came with the new K-Macs that I have heard others talking about. It was just three sizes of exhaust pipe in different diameters with a punch.
Their computer called for 3 hours of labor both sides but it ended up taking over 6-8 hours. The camber was -2.5 from being lowered after cutting 3/4 coil of the spring and the K-Macs were only able to correct it to -1.7 maxed out correction. The quote was honored despite the job taking a lot longer than they expected. However, I misunderstood the price originally and it is $135 per side removing old bushes and installing K-Macs. Alignment was $70.
FWIW, Very good guys and highly recommended. I will use this shop for any future work.

Ended up bringing it to a Merc specialist. They took about 4hrs but it was perfect.
With the Merc bolt kits, about $400.
