They are 100% full of shit!!! $1200?? Kinda like when I went to the stealership b/c my front parking sensor was malfunctioning, and they wanted to charge me $160. I asked if I needed a new sensor, my S.A. said..."oh no your sensor is fine you just need to replace a clip" Sure, Nice try!!!

Go to an independent alignment shop and get the car properly aligned for the reasonable price of $75.

Furthermore the minimal drop that you have 1.2" is hardly any extra stress on the control arms, or any other suspension components. I doubt that it would even create accelerated wear on your tires, if you did not get an alignment at all!!

Trust me I have owned several bagged vehicles, drove them around slammed and still caused minimal wear to the suspension components.
