Expect to pay $80 for a good alignment.  You may also have some slight camber issues with the rear.  It won't be huge on a 1.3" drop but it will be noticable.  You can slot the lower inner A arm mounting points and move them inwards by 6 mm.  Super easy to do if you have a die grinder or you can get the guys at L&R Racing to do it for you.  Takes a total of 30 minutes to do.

Also expect to get another alignment 1 year in.  After my springs/struts settled, I needed to get another alignment to correct the camber again.

is that a good place to go?  L&R Racing that is? because my uncle works at midas and he gets me deals all the time, but would it be a good idea to go to a different place?

L&R can do the work on the lower A arm, but they do not do alignments.

I would go to any shop that you trust to do the alignment.
