Putting the konis and steeda sports on today. Should I have the alignment checked right away, or should I I drive for a bit and let the springs settle first? Hopefully with only going an inch lower it won't mess with the alignment.

 

Let it settle a little while. A few miles shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't wait too long though. I got mine aligned after about 100 miles.

 

Sounds good. That's pretty much what I was thinking. Thanks!

 

Drive for a bit. Mine was fine for a few weeks then it decided to get out of alignment. Camber especially. The springs need time settle first.

 

I always have an alignment the next day, but the shop is about 30 miles from my house.
I have it rechecked for free 2 weeks later and still in spec.

Out of spec toe is what will eat up your tires fast.

 

Yeah, most likely will bring it in wednesday to have it checked. Got a wee bit of lean in the front wheels

 

I asked this in another thread with no response yet. I planned on having the front end aligned tomorrow, but won't have a new panhard bar for a week or so. If the alignment is corrected now, will anything be affected on the front end if I install/adjust the panhard after?

side note: Is everyone lowering their cars at the same time? Went on AM to order the j&m panhard bar, and both are sold out LRS too

 

Tax season...seems like everyone is doing it now...lol. I just did mine today as well. Lowered and had everything aligned all at once. Shop told me the springs won't "settle" much after initial install and it'd be within spec and ok. Got the car back about 2 hrs ago, it feels great, rides straight and smooth.

 

So, did you do a new panhard bar today too? What setup did you go with?

 

Ford Racing K springs and Max. Motorsports adjustable panhard bar.
