Lifetime alignment? Where do I get one of those done? And yeah of course haha, alignment is always necessary when messing with the suspension.

Lots of places around here have it. Make sure it's a place that will do it to the specs you want and not some broad range that their computer spits out

Ah okay I just looked it up, so somewhere like Firestone would do it to my specs? Or would I have to go to an independent shop? And installing the shocks shouldn't be a problem, I've done strut/shock installation before, sway bars too haha. And for some reason the Robin Yang DIY site seems to be down.

Ask them. I would be surprised though. Any DIY on this site for it will work. That was just my favorite

Hmm I would think they might not because of the whole liability thing these big places worry about, but I'll ask. And thanks a lot man, hopefully in the near future I'll get everything in order.

Hmm what if I can get my hands on a cheap set of Koni Yellows? I know someone selling a set for $300, they have about 3k on them, would that be better than a set of new bilsteins?

I never had a problem with my set of konis. They will lower your car a little bit all on their own.

Awesome, and as far as I know $300 is a pretty good price, I know that for my Cobalt they were almost $600 for a set. So the Tein springs would be a good match for the Konis then?

Of course, it's to be expected, but how much lower do you think? The springs themselves advertise 1.4" in the front and 0.7" in the back.

The install involves both lol. Do both at the same time. I'm sure that is what you mean but just making sure.
