There is an easy way to check the "Toe" alignment. With no steering wheel turn (horizontal) and on a flat road hold a thin rope from front wheels to rear wheels and let the rope touch the rear wheels. this way it is possible to see whether the front Toe is "IN" or "OUT".

They are about $170 shipped with CL discount on Sewell.

And welcome to CL

I bought this 2 weeks ago and did pay for shipping (from Sewell - 25 miles from my house, cause they do not allow local pickup

)

It is the best mod for that money I have tried.

Really? Can't you just walk into the parts department and ask for the internet price and pick it up?!

I called and asked and was told "To keep that business separate" they do not allow it. The guy did offer to sell it to me at full price

I paid about $13 to get it 4 days later, not ideal, but I appreciate them overall.

Well that sucks. I was planning a trip to Dallas and figured I'd save on shipping while I was down there

I can see why they want to keep that business separate though, people not on CL would want the discount if they saw someone getting discounts for it.

You'll see an improvement in handling - much less body roll and much better performance when cornering.
