so my front tie rod ends are frozen, from I guess the northern winters -
went to get an alignment this morning because my toe is 0.30 of an inch 
I thought coilovers wouldn't have this dramatic of an effect but I guess I was wrong.
Any ideas on the frozen tie rod ends - the guy doing my alignment tried heating them up but said they would NOT budge. Does this mean new tie rod ends? Any ideas on cost?

right. random prolly should say "new tierods" rather than just "ends"
but i've rarely seen them THAT frozen. PB-blaster or any penetrating oil should get them loose. if not, heat def. should.
but if not, you could crack the lock nut off and hopefully still get the tie-rod end off. <- in order to replace.
