Alignment question

JayStuff · Aug 24, 2010

So I know that If you change the suspension geometry you should have your car aligned.. Well I put in my coils and got the adjustments close to where I want them so I'm looking to get an alignment soon.

Now my question, once I have my car aligned, it's probably not a good idea to make slight height and camber adjustments right? Or do you guys think it would be ok?

in for the answer on this, ive always wondered that. btw you should probably get firestone's lifetime alignment so that if you adjust, you can always realign. not bad for the price

when you change your height your changing your toe camber and possibly caster. meaning you just undid the alignment you just paid for. If your just doing slight little adjustments then you shouldn't see any tire wear problems but I would recomend finding a height and camber you like before you get it aligned and just tell them not to worry about adjusting your camber. hope that helped.

Thanks. I figured it would mess it up. My toe is sooooo off right now. Haha.

im pretty sure if your suspension is stock you can only change your toe. i tried to get my car aligned and asked them to do my camber and they said "you have no camber in this car" meaning there were no adjustments to be made. i would assume that's why everyone buys a camber kit.
