When to have an alignment
To you guys who droped their car with springs, when did you get an alignment, right after the install or did you wait until it settled (1 week, 2 weeks..how long)?Thanks

Rep Power: 0 I had a full coilover kit
set up 2.50" all four corners with front and rear camber kit adjustment, the good things about full coilover set up, it's actually low my car center gravity, and now my car has improved handling so much. I tested out my car in fast speed corner turning, man the handling is amazing. I am planing to upgrade front and rear strut bars and anti-swaybar to even make to the handling more amazing. Anyway, you should installed springs/shocks and camber kits at once by yourself to save money, NOTE: you do not have to adjust the camber, just install them and the mechanics will adjust them when they aligment your car, make sure you tell the mechanics you have the adjustable camber kit both front and rear. (It's easy to install, go here
01CivicSuspensionSetup) then test drive the car to feel the car handling for a day or adjust the desire height or damper if you have coilovers or adjustable shocks. After all that, go to the shop for aligment for both front and rear for $58.00, "ALWAYS GET ALIGMENT AFTER LOW THE CAR," don't look and feel the wheels of the car because you won't able to tell if the aligment is off. This not only help you to save money on tires, but it also help your car sticks to the ground for best handling. Hope this helps.
