Adjustable Springs???

Ok questions! I'm not sure if this has been asked or what, but I just didn't feel like searching. So my bad if this is a question that has been asked.

If I was to get some adjustable springs installed on my 2k2 w/a camber kit as well. Will my tires wear down when I drop it as low as the springs adjust, or is it just where I set my camber kit at? Or can I have it dropped for like...let's say a month and then lift it up and the alignment will be off?

I guess what I'm saying is with adjustable springs....Does the alignment change when you change the height of the ride. I know w/air baggs you have a certain setting and if you ride with that setting your alignment will be fine. Does this apply to adjustables as well?

I don't have the ferri for baggs and I hate riding high, but I still want to have the ability to lift the ride for any reason with a little bit of ease.

Thanks for any info..."ONE LUV"..."B"..."BlueBoy"

Yes, whenever you change youre ride hight you're camber angle will change.

So set your ride height then get an alignment.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

yup, what he said... but to explain it further...

just get an alignment at what you'll most likely be riding at. you dont have to get an alignment right after you get them installed tho. like say you set it at a 2" drop, ride it around like that for a week. if your happy with it, get an alignment at that height. for whatever reason, you want to raise it, just raise it 1" so that is a 1" drop and you should be fine. its only a 1" difference and isnt a big deal.
