After lowering with springs. Did you guys have to get a custom alignment or did you guys just align it regularly?
Apparently the guy said with the custom alignment, he might have to get extra parts in order to align it? and its friggin 90 bucks an hour.... he said it might take 3 - 4 hours. I feel like I'm just getting ripped I don't know.
I didnt need an alignment with my TRD drop. Been over a year and no issues at all and steering is perfect... unless the dealership did it during a maint. check or something (unlikely)

The cost of an alignment is nothing compared to the cost of replacing tires when they wear out prematurely.
You won't know it's out of alignment until you get the car up on a rack and have it checked.
It's definitely not something you can skip.

When I lowered mine of TRD I got an alignment after 2 weeks, including a trip on one of the roughest road of NB, and it was of course it was off alignment. Got it done at the dealer at no cost (for the 1st year and only once), but their regular rate is like 100 or 103$.
Just curious, how about Toyota dealership alignment? Because i plan on having it done at the dealership.
Dealership is fine if you don't mind paying more expensive prices.
Some of the shops I listed use newer more advanced equipment and give you a printout outlining specs before and after the work is done so you get a better idea of what was out of whack before aligning it.

+1 I had mine aligned after I installed my TRD springs & the toe was off. I had it checked after putting my Eibach springs on too & it needed adjusting again with the lower springs.
