I jsut installed H&R sport springs on my 2002 LX coupe stock rims. And now, my rear tires look a little negative toward the centre of my car. Since I am not going to get a camber kit, can anyone tell me if I need to get my car aligned or its okay this way?!?!?!..... and plus, if i do need to get it aligned, where can I get a good job and how much does it cost??? ..

ps: I live in Toronto Canada.


Thanks for the advices.....

I think its a good idea to get an alignment. If it is off, getting it fixed will help tread wear and make driving a little easier. As far as where to get it, I dont know although I would not expect to pay more than $50 or so to get it aligned.

well depends where you go... if you have a camber kit, its gonna be a little more expensive to allign

for the front, the stock ones will allow u to adjust a little (but if your degree is off by lots then it still requires a kit), as for the rear, u need to get a kit for it...i lowered my car w/ eibach pro-kit and for some reason, both tires (passenger side) are really off, but the driver side is ok.

Mine were fine until I installed GC and then my whole alignment went bad it cost me 65 bucks cuz it was so bad I had to hold the steering wheel to the side, its worth the 50 or so bucks in the long run. Newayz yes get the alignment.

its always recommended you get an alignment anytime you lower the car..

alignment should cost no more then $55 USD

for a 1.3" drop you dont really need a camber kit..

"well depends where you go... if you have a camber kit, its gonna be a little more expensive to allign"
it shouldnt, if they charge more your just getting ****ed.. camber is part of alignment and it should have already been included in the price of the alignment...

Thanks for all the advices!!!.. but I just asked this guy from the carshop today and he told me that it is useless to do the alignment since it cannot adjust the camber anywayz.....so........um.... i dunno. i am really confused.. why do people here all recommend me to do the alignment if it cant adjust anything..!??!!?

camber isnt the only thing thats part of alignment..
toe and caster is also part of alignment and those are also effected when you install lowering springs. that is why it is recommended you get an alignment.
even camber can be corrected to a slight degree without a camber kit. you dont need anything else besides stock parts to adjust toe and caster tho.
