Do you guys know?

Green Crack

The over all height from the ground to the highest point should be 1255 mm (49.4 in). I have no idea about the springs themselves.

awh. the spring height. front and back. the tire place won't do my alignment unless it's a bit higher than how i lowered it. so, they want me to bring it back to factory height and down 1-2 in.

that doesnt even make sense. if it can get on the rack then they can align it. they just need to adjust the toe anyways.

Take it to another shop, sounds like they don't have experience with aligning lowered cars.

hm. i'm just going to make it as to my car being low, but not tucking the tires and where i could put 2-3 fingers in the gap.

i just talked to my brother and asked if he ran his ek with a camber kit or toe kit and he said no.
he ran on stock struts, skunk2 lowering springs, and hx rims just like i am except i have aftermarket koni yellow and weapon r coilover sleeves. and he gets no tire wear at all, then he told me it shouldn't be a problem to get an alignment and the place probably just wanted more money out of me. and skunk2s are like what? 2 in something all around? that's lower than mine.

when i was at the place the guy went "i can guarantee you, no other place is going to align it that low". they act like it was slammed x__x;; it's not.

those guys are dumb.. take it to another shop. I get my alignments at ntb (buddys the manager) and they never said a word about it.. even needed some boards to get it up on the rack and they do it just fine. they obviously cant adjust the camber, but as long as everything else is good it doesnt even matter, you wont chew up tires.

yeah. i just went into the garage and made it so i could stick 2 fingers in the gap all around. some people are telling me to get a camber kit and others are telling me i'll do okay without one. i'm too poor right now going back to school with no job x__x; oh, and guess what? my backside of my car is leaking!!! they scraped my car when they tried to put it on the lift. and not sure what it is. how can i patch up the spot?

this is a good read about camber kits

I dunno whats leaking from the back of your car, lol.. hope its not the gas tank ? if it requires patching,and it is their fault, you shouldnt be worrying about it, they should.

mish__

doesn't smell like gas. i posted on teamsolcal and some guy said it might be brake fluid. sucks, i don't wanna be a bitch to call and go "you ****ed up my car!". i'm not the confrontational type of girl >_>;; but, i'm a broke bitch, so i'll give a call first thing in the morning x__x; damn, and i have to go to the bay area tomorrow too.

Sounds like this shop sucks. I'm lowered, not slammed, but I don't think I could even fit one finger in wheel gap wise, and I can still get alignments at tire kingdom and stuff. I had to check out a couple places at first, but no biggie.
