Default Anyone get alignment done???

I have a 96 w/gs engine. How much would alignment cost? Anyone that has gotten alignment please tell me how much they spent, where (dealer or local shop), and if they are satisfied.

Thankyou..........

96s are C4s: you might get better info from the C4 sections.

However, I had my GS aligned about 3 times per year (yes every year). Two trips down lime creek road would move the settings enough for me to notice. I had to have teh cross brace detorqued twice as the chassis had taken a tweek and detorquing the cross brase would relieve it enough for the alignment setting to put the car back on a proper footing.

I have had a couple done and they cost about $100 each. I would suggest that you find a local aligment shop that has a good reputation. I have not had good luck with the chain store "Brake and Tire" places.... :sad: BTW, considering the cost of tires for the C5, an aligment is a good investment!

Just had mine done after lowering. $100. Done in 30 minutes. At Tire Plus. They seemed to have done a good job, no problem with my ride being lowered either. :D :D
