yes or no
and what happens if you don't get a alighnment.

 

yes...unless you like buying new tires alot.

 

Yes. For my generation of Civic (EG - not sure if it applies to other Civics and/or models as well), the fronts tend to toe out by a LOT when it's lowered. Mine were so far out that when viewing from above, it actually looked like this: \--/. My car was swerving anytime I hit a patch of loose rocks/gravel and don't even get me started on hitting holes. So do your tires, yourself, and your passengers a favour, get an alignment.

 

my wheels are still like this | | first when it was slammed it was like this / \ i kept scraping everywhere so i took it up ..but it goes in a straight line now.. weired but oh well i will get a alignment anyway.

 

I dropped my integra about 1.3" with Eibach springs, did the alighnment myself, got it as good as i could without the camber kits...... the result: My tires are going after 1.6 years of use (worn on the inside). I know I got as wuch as I could out of them, and the car handled beautifull the first year, but thinking back I would rather put the camber kit on.

 

you NEED an alignment to fix your TOE, not your camber.

toe and camber changes whenever you change ride height.

its your toe that eats tires.

its your toe that will make the difference in handling performance.

camber has a big effect in handling too, and its better to leave it negative anyway.

 

so alignment would improve handling?

 

well if the toe is off, yeah, getting it back in specs would make things better.

its like asking if a valve adjustment is needed.

 

thanks dude.
