    well if the $390 is for the install and alignment i'd take it. I paid $350 for install and $80 for an alignment. so you have me beat by $40!!

    Re: Alignment after coilover install

    I paid $350 for install and $120 for an alignment. Best alignment I've ever had. Also make sure that you drive the car for ~1 week before getting an alignment so the coils can settle

    Is this really true?? Should I wait for alignment after I drive a hundred miles or so? Is corner balancing different than alignment??

    Re: Alignment after coilover install

    I paid 225 install, 100 alignment.

    I agree with the QTC that don't get it aligned immediately (but don't wait too long either). My Konis settled quite a bit - the shop actually kept the car over night and drove it around on some really bumpy roads for me before taking it in to get aligned, so at the minimum I'd recommend something along those l ines.

    Call a shop that specializes in audi's. not the dealer ship. Or come to MN and have IMOLA do it for you.
