Re: were to go for alignment in San Antonio area?
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.
