quick question..... do u need an alignment afteer lowering ur car?????

 
Rep Power: 0

you should man

 
Rep Power: 0

yes!
u need alignment after 2 weeks of letting the car sitting!!

 
Rep Power: 0

i thought you need to do alignment as soon as the car is lowered (the same day or the day after)

I think it's a while after the springs settle into place too. I haven't had my post-drop alignment done yet, so don't know for sure.

sure go ahead... waste money!!
hahahaha
usually its after 1-2 weeks


-----------------------

Addendum: This is CB (yeah yeah, I'm so bored at booo's house!)

1.25" lower wait 1 week
2.25" or greater, wait 2 weeks before doing an alignment.

Do you mean your steering wheel pulls? If so you may need a camber kit and an alignment.

 
Rep Power: 0

nope...... its perfect..... when i travel on the highway at speeds exceeding 160... i can let go of the wheel no prob... it wont steer left nor right... i dunno... but ima do it anyway..

what if it's coil overs???

 
Rep Power: 0

depends on the height you're setting them at, and what kind of coilovers you use...

 
Rep Power: 0

so if i change the height for summer and winter driving.... i'll prolly have to re-align after a month each time... so basically min. twice a year....?

 
Rep Power: 0

That's right, each time you adjust the height you'll have to get an alignment done a week or two afterwards.

 
Rep Power: 0

that's the bad side of coilover..

just curious but if i like to turn the wheel all the way to left or right when i make turns, parallel park etc....will i kill the steering?

it seems as though 90% of the populations cut corners when they turn...it's really annoying sometimes cause i usually yield to the guy who has the right of way....lets say i'm at a stop sign and some guy decides to make a right turn towards me...it's his right of way but he'll complain i'm hoggin the ------- space on the street....there's plenty of room to complete the guy's right turn if he steered properly...

i always steer hard to one way when parallel parking cause it always gets me into extremely tight parking spaces and still 30cm from the curb..
