Firestone used to offer a lifetime alignment as long as you own the vehicle. The did a good job on my IROC back in 05'.

You tell Accurate how you drive the car and he will set it up accordingly, firestone, sears etc set it up to factory specs only unless you give them the specs you want and they still might not do it right.

Did you get a right and left rotors. The first picture of the car shows you have the driver side rotor on the pass side.
