i just lowered my car on H&R sports, is it best to get an alignment now or wait for the springs to settle???

 

It's generally best twice for drivability.
One now, and one in about 3 weeks to make sure they're settled

 

im fixin to lower mine 1.5 inches. ive heard a from a bunch of people just wait 1-2 weeks and do it. thats better than spending 40-50 dollars twice. im waiting about 2 weeks for mine.soo...

It wears the tires very quickly if you don't align soon. I would align right after you do it and then once more after like 3 weeks.

 

When I lowered my car I didn't get an alignment until about two weeks after and it was fine.

It depends on how bad the alignment is out when you put it all back together as to how soon you need an alignment. Sometimes it is not bad and other times it can be way off.

 

Yeah, that's true. It was pretty much the same after it was done. I just decided to let them settle first and then do the alignment.

 

Some places that do alignments warranty the alignment for 30 days or so. If you take it back after 2 or 3 weeks saying that you believe the alignment may be off they will fix it for free. That's how the Les Schwab tire store is here. They even told me that I should do it after replacing my springs, come in get an alignment right after and have it check a few weeks later.

 

If I lowerd my 1997 Honda Accord on H&R Sport, do I need any camber kit?

What about for my brother's 1999 Accord with H&R Sport. Any camber kit necessary?

Thanks.

 

If it's more than a 2" drop then yes, if not no.

 

for the 97, you can do the bolt and washer trick for the back, just need to purchase camber kits for the front

for the 99, you would ahve to purchase the rear camber kits because its going to be really bad, the front you could get away without ones.

i didnt get an alignment nor camber kits for around 3-4 months, not much wear on my tires, im dropped on H&R race.
