Default Figs bushings installation

For those who have installed the figs bushings or the USRS from RRRacing, do you have to get an alignment afterwards?

I ask because I just got an alignment two weeks ago but one of the shops that I called told me that anytime you touch the suspension system you have to do another alignment.

Can anyone confirm? Also, how much did you guys get charged for the installation? I bought them with the housing so all the shop has to do is replace the whole thing, no hydraulic press required. I don’t have the tools or the time nor the trust in myself to do it right haha

You shouldn’t need to do an alignment. It just depends on how your install goes whether you somehow mess with your alignment or not during it.

If you have signs of uneven tire wear prior to USRS install, then we recommend alignment, otherwise no.

You aren't messing with the alignment setting to swap these out. If you just had one done I wouldn't worry about it.

For installation, this is one I recommend tackling yourself. It is super easy, just jack up the car and it's a few bolts per side. It takes me 45 minutes and most of that is jacking up the car and getting it on jackstands. I wouldn't pay a shop more than about $100. With a lift they should be able to do it in 30 minutes or less.
