Do you need to do alignment when you lower the car? or it should be fine?
drop is on tein s

thanks a lot

 

Yes, you need an alignment after you've lowered. Allow time for car to settle, around 50 miles or so and then take it for an alignment.

 

cool, thanks for the quick reply

 

When you get it aligned, they may tell you camber is out of spec depeding on how much you dropped it. That can only be adjusted if you add camber kits.

 

what do you mean the chamber might be out? sorry i'm not into dropping or modifying car a lot, noob in this area...

the drop is on tein s, which is 1.7F/1.7R

 

Here's Ingall's FAQ that describes Camber.

cool thanks for the links, that explains a lot, appreciate it

 

u on ss (coil overs) or s tech springs?

I just put s techs on and am gonna take it for an alignment soon - heres hoping i dont need a camber kit.

 

will be on s tech springs, not installed yet....

 

i take it both you guys have cl's, let me know how the ride is on both of those setup's. I'll be lowering in the spring so I'm still deciding on which setup to go with.

BTW you probably won't need a camber kit with that drop for both front and rear. Should be fine.

 

oops double post delete plz

 

The ride is great in my opinion. I've got basically a 1-finger gap all around - a bit less even

It is obviously firmer than stock, and you gotta watch the potholes, but overall it's smooth and takes bumps impressively well.

My rear camber looks pretty bad at this point, but I have never lowered a car before so I will wait till I get it to an alignment shop for the bad news lol. I do have the OEM suspension and a case of beer in my trunk right now though which is probably not helping lol.
