    I'll have to call and give Brad some shit for not being behind his desk. They are not the cheapest place to have work done, but they will stand behind it and get any problems ironed out. I would much prefer that route than trying to save a couple bucks and pay more for it later on. Yeah, it's no longer my occupation, but it's a hobby. I like it better that way. When I get bored or antsy, I get to go build stuff.

    Haha, the guy I spoke to initially said Brad is the Toyota expert, so he would be doing the work. And yea, there is def some comfort going with them. The $490 with align was not bad. Its was the 7 hours shop time that surprised me. Seems like a nice guy for sure. Maybe he goes very slow to get things just right? Cool, same here with detailing and landscaping. I do it when want to these days. Lowe's takes most of my time. I was only asking to say you are welcome to do it if you would like. He has this link, so he may be looking in:)

    Install a quality set of upper arms and re-align it and you'll be set! These will add much needed caster and help you with the premature ESP activation! We recommend Total Chaos, Icon or Camburg upper arms. All of these will do the trick!

    All that does is give you more caster

    Too low of caster will cause it to activate prematurely. "A great alignment" is a little vague. Post the specs and we can try and help with a little more detail

    We'll get it figured out. The guys at High Country are damn good, and I've got a hell of a alignment tech that can actually align some shit to other than factory specs. #DCLBFTMFWMFDIE.

    I don't honestly know who High Country uses now, but like I said before I'm sure they will stand behind their install. If there are any alignment probs, Alray Tire can right any wrongs. Judd or Jimmy will set it at the optimal settings, not factory specs.

    10-4. I was more or less asking because my A5 needs a proper align. So much inner shoulder wear. Going to pick up some adjustable UCA's, and want the align done right.

    Casters at 2 and will get much better around 3.4 to 3.7 degrees. Also, stiffer tire sidewalls than stock can make it worse.
