just installed shocks and springs and i am goin to get an alignment. many miles from now after i break them in i plan on installing my rear and front sway bars at the same time...

the question is do i need another alignment after installing the sway bars

p.s. i got koniSP3/Eibach 2-3

 

you will only need an alignment after the spring install, not after the sway-bar install. What bar are you going with?

 

With RSB, no alignment needed. You'll need alignment if you install a FSB (Front Sway) because you'll have to lower the Subframe.

 

i have a progress rear sway bar and i am going to get a type s front sway bar

i think i will have to get another 1 when i do the front. any1 absolutely sure and has he experience with this?

 

You don't need alignment after rear sway bar install, but need one for the front. You definitely need one after installing new springs and shocks. Perhaps you should install the TL-S front sway bar and then go for the alignment after it's all said and done.

I'll be installing a Type-S FSB next week. I'm positive on the alignment. When you remount your subframe, it won't align exactly the same as it was before you lowered the frame down to access the FSB. Don't waste your money doing alignment twice or get a lifetime alignment at Firestone like I did and you can come back for alignments for life.

I have experience dropping the subframe on a Mazda3 as well. It definitely alters toe and camber slightly when reinstalled. Enough to feel a pulling when driving in a straight line.

 

No alignment for the rear swaybar. Needs an alignment for the front swaybar.

 

thanx guys

so how much for the firestone lifetime alignment?

and by the way i have to get an alignment twice because i do not want to put sway bars on while the shocks and springs are still new. went to good year only because it was the closest and my car was undrivable after the install...NEVER GO TO GOODYEAR
