hey guys...

just wondering if any of you got your alignment checked after installing the eibach pro.. considering doing this, but dont want to skip the alignment and watch some good 'ol shouler wear occur

 

Mine required alignment after install.

 

I needed to add camber bolts to get the alignment in spec.

 

damnit.. how hard is that to do.. i dont know much about alignment other than toe in etc.

is it worth it to even lower it?

 

Installed mine just a few weekends back with my neighbor who is a suspension guru.
Not pulling either way at the present time, he said since it is not pulling to give the
springs a few hundred miles to "settle" then rotate tires and have the alignment checked.

 

definitely get an alignment after installing the pro kit - you may not need camber bolts (i didn't), but wear will be uneven and the handling will be diminished in quality without an alignment. it's $100 well spent. if you're gonna lower, do it right

 

That`s probably good advice, just keep in mind that lowering the car is going to change "camber". Pulling is caused by "caster" angle

A car can pull andNOT wear tires irregularly

A car can wear tires and NOT pull


So, don`t count on straight tracking as a guarantee that your alignment is correct.

 

Any time you lower or lift the front of a vehicle, you're going to need an alignment. I lowered my girlfriend's car with the Steeda Ultralites and didn't need the Camber Bolts to get the car back in spec. Personally, I'd get the alignment done immediately after. Most shops have a 6 months warranty so just bring it in a few months to have them re-check it if you're worried that the springs settled.

 

I had to align mine after install. The toe was out of spec. Did not need a camber kit or caster adjustment. But its definetely worth doing an alignment, also loved the way it looked and handled afterword.

 

just don't get a side exit exhuast system. There's been a few posts about lowered cars and a side exit exhaust and clearance issues as in only a couple inches off the ground.
