Need anwser quick! SOrry!

Ok..Im putting on my shocks springs and camber right now as we type,


My question is since my camber kit front and back will be installed, should I and can I just go get it aligned as soon as im done? Or do I need to wait?


I know Ive read before that I should let it settle, yet i think They were reffering with no insatll of camber. In my case the camber will be installed all at the same time.


The guys doing the install with me say that since the camber will be put on now I dont have to wait for settle.

AlienX will become famous soon enough
with or without a camber kit, you should let it settle. If you have the money to blow on an alignment right after you install and one another month or 2 later then go for it, ill save ur tires. But If you dont have the money, try to get the length of the control arm the same as stock and do the alignment after. If you notice pulling to one side more then the other after your install, you should prob get the alignment now and do another one later.

the reason why i would let it settle is because the ride height could be lower after some time. this is why i would wait; incase the car actually settles lower than i desired with my initial height adjustment (you'll throw off the alignment if adjust the ride height after an alignment). however, if you dont have an adjustable suspension than i'd just get the alignment right away.

non adjustable is what I have....

so I might just get alignment today if possible.

What if I dont get it today....will the wear on my tires be that bad?

the alignment on the car will be off regardless since you took apart your suspension. typically the lower you go the worse the alignment is.

100 dollars more for lifetime is wroth it trust me. I bought my lifetime alignment as DISCOUNT tires back then for 109.00 bucks and i get an alignment every other oil change. I also got lifetime balancing and rotation for 30 bucks for all four wheels and tires too. Trust me get the lifetime alignement and bring it back every 3000-6000 miles.
