alignment/ 5 speed swap question

Caliaccord02 · Aug 5, 2015

Im about to order my coilovers right now and they should be coming in later this week. I was looking into getting them installed and getting an alignment right after next week. In the next 2 weeks, I will also be getting my 5 speed swap done. Will doing the 5 speed swap involve removing suspension parts which will throw off my alignment?

I'd wait on the alignment. Or do the suspension during/after the 5spd swap.

^^This. Since the car is going to be down for a while when doing the 5 speed swap, just swap the suspension then.

Thanks guys. I know that i'm going to be extremely tempted to get them installed right away but i''ll have to contain myself.lol. Thanks again.

The 5 speed swap wont be happening for another month atleast. My coilovers are coming in tomorrow so the question I have now is, will I be alright getting them installed and driving on them for another month while I wait on the swap and the alignment? Wont be driving too much and was thinking about only a 2 inch drop. Will my car be hard to drive and wear the tires?

You can drive on them, but there will be more inner wear than normal. Won't be hard to drive on them though. But I'd still wait to install the suspension, or just buy a years worth of alignments for a little more. An alignment is cheaper than tires.
