Alingment?

[stlalerodude03]

i heard from someone that after i put my new lowerign springs on that i have to get an alingment.....is this true?

[AGT]

Who is putting them on? If you yes...you can mark where the strut splines in but its still a good idea even if someone like a body shop does it. :thumbsup:

well i put my springs on and from driving around, im still not sure if i need alignement or not seeign as how i cant tell.

me and my buddy installed my springs and i did not need an alignment afterwards. this was back in june and i still dont need one.

[stlalerodude03]

how long did it take you guys to do the install...i have all tools includin a good impact gun?

[jackal2000]

it was the first time i did suspension work so it took roughly 3 hours. i had air tools as well. you gotta spring compressor? some guys say you dont need it (see the how to thread) but i suggest it cause then you can do it all by yourself.

you don't need too. only if you are going coilovers

[stlalerodude03]

i dotn have a sprign compressour but a few freinds should do the job..lol

I can get spring compressors free thru work. I'd still reccomend getting an allignment done though, its generally a good idea once you get any front end work done.

i think it just depends on how it rides.......check the camber once u set it down.......take it for a test drive and see if it pulls, if not id say u dont need one.....

but if it makes u feel more comfortable then u should......

would a high speed vibration be caused by lowering the car.

Do a Alignment, you may put it all together and think it rides fine then when you go to get your car inspected and they tell you that you need new tires because they are out of alignment. Plus it is 100% impossible to get your alignment back to stock becuase you change the geometry of the front end so basically you will always be out of alignment. You mine as well try to get it back to as close perfect as you can, but it will never be perfect.

here in mich you can drive junk around and no one says anything.
