What to do after springs installed?
Ok. After a long deliberation about what suspension set-up to go with, I finally decided on getting the H&R Sport springs. I finally had them installed this past weekend. They're absolutley great. No regrets at all ! So add another one to the H&R family.
But now I have a question. Obviously you need to get an alignment after getting the springs installed. But what else do you need to to have the springs settle in properly? Do I need to add weight to the passenger side of the car a balance the weight distribution since i'll be sitting in the driver side and adding weight to that side? Any input would be appreciated.

goowakjai - No need to do anything more than a 4 wheel alignment. The weight issue is moot (unless you weigh 400lbs.!) Give the springs a week to settle, then align.

yeah, got the alignment done the same day i had the springs installed. Chris, did you have to adjust your headlights? I haven't noticed a difference then before. Did you have to adjust them higher?
You only got 8K miles on your stock shocks? Shoot, might have to order my koni yelllows pretty soon then.
