I just bought my Brand new IS350 F Sport a couple weeks ago. I put my old RSR downs on it after only having 30 miles on the car. I now have around 150 miles and needing an alignment. Should I have a shop do it, or do you think i could have the dealer do it under warranty since its only 2-3 weeks old???

i doubt the dealer will re-align the car for you after you put aftermarket springs on there.

Well, I wouldn't say I put springs on there. I would just tell them its a little off.

They're going to see the car is lowered ... It's not something you can hide. They could easily blame the bad alignment on the springs and charge you for it.

alignment is ~$100 at a reputable shop. why risk having the dealer charge you ~$400?

lmao, no dealer will cover your alignment under warranty for free. Once you modify it with aftermarket, that specific part will lose its warranty. They will only cover it if that part was not modified and was defective from manufacture.

No, they aren't going to do an alignment for free under warranty. My dealership charges around $100.

Don't even bother you're lowered. It's just an alignment no need to go to Lexus. It can easily be done $60-100 any shop.

Since everyone thinks the lexus dealership is going to charge $400 for an alignment I'll give you an idea that it only cost me $110 for an alignment from lexus. Not saying you have to get it done at lexus but i know some people just like to stick to dealerships for service.
