Arrow Tein SS coilvers...

hello to whoever will read this. I just want to ask this question. I slam my car in the summer like 2.5 inch drop right and i was thinking of doing an alignment but would the alignment be ruined if i want to raise it back up for the winter. Please help me out before summer comes. Thank you.

Every time you adjust the height of your car, even 1/4", the alignment changes. After Tein SS install don't get an alignment for at least 2 weeks(from what I have read), let the coil-overs settle, then get an alignment. If you raise it back up for winter, you will again need an alignment. When you slam her back down for summer, another alignment will be needed. So find a place that does life-time alignments on your car, that way you can get the 2 alignments you will need each year.

If you lower your car more then 1.5" you will probably NEED a rear Ingall camber kit, which includes 4 adjustable rear rods, they cost about $150.

I would not slam the crap out of it... just raise it back up and drive somewhat dropped... I have my coilovers set so the fenders sit just above the top of the tires.... The damper is in the middle... I go over some crazy potholes, i like to feel the road, but don't like jaw shattering bumps....

The two are somewhat related, but not really.... If you race or corner your car a lot then get sway bars and strut bars.... lowering your car only lowers the center of gravity and also causes more air to flow above the vehicle than underneath it. Getting sway bars and strut bars will keep the car planted in a turn as vehicle weight from one side is distributed to the other. Getting a sway/strut bar is not going to make your car smooth, that is what shocks and springs are for. If you are slammed, then smooth is kinda out of the window, ain't it?

A_C_U_R_A is glued on... the 'A' is actually held in and you will see two holes when you remove them. There are countless DIY for this mod. Check out the appropriate sections.

Yes, this guy has some inquiries. Dude, use the 'Search' function... the forum has been around for years, many of the questions can be answered through 'search'.... but we try to help when we can...

The fuse panel for the radio is on teh passenger side. Your manual will tell you what fuse and the amp fuse needed. The car should have come with spares. The cover to the panel also lists the fuse.

If you dont have a manual you can look up all the info here

need to learn to search harder then or prepare to wait.
everyone of your questions has been questioned before and have been answered before.

try going to google and typing this in the search bar
site:acurazine.com then the keywords of your question

if it doesn't work out then try different words that you think would work.

i.e. site:acurazine.com alignment ride height
if the pages brought up do not match exactly what you are asking then use the information to figure out the answer yourself and learn something in the process.
I always find myself searching for things and learning wayy more than i bargained for and that has helped me answer other people's questions later on as well as my own.
