Default TRD springs

Has anyone heard about any problems with getting your XB aligned after installing TRD lowering springs? A shop around the corner from me wants 150.00 to start an alignment.

these are springs though. whenever you remove the the strut assembly you will need an alignment.

The TRD springs lowered my box a little over an inch. The shop that installed them charged me $180 labor to install the springs and do a four wheel alignment. They couldn't find the alignment specs on my car, so I told them to use a Toyota Echo as a backup. No problems whatsoever...
