how low do u plan on lowering it? (or how low is it lowered??) i would hope you got some front camber..and get an alignment if you havent done so, cuz ur toes r prolly messedup and that'll kill ur tires QUICK.

i jus posted pix of my car and its lowered on GC, the bounciness dun really bother me...i grew on it in a day....it handles so much better

yes it does, no camber kit as of yet, don't need it quite yet, an allignment is in the picture as soon as i can scrounge the money for it since money is tight right now...and the front is set to about 3/4 the way down and the rear is about 1/2 way down, it looks and rides excellent...

ive had my car lowered (slammed really) on for at least 8 months... i still havent gotten an alignment. i really need to, but want to spend my money on better things, like exhaust, header, a long block, my list is huge, the last thing ill do is prolly alignment...

my tires are fine too, normal wear for how i drive.

all i can say is jus look at ur inner tires once in a while, cuz havin quick tire wear is not worth the $ if u have 17s. or it doesnt matter..15s...tires = $$$...im jus sayin..if u see ur tires wearin out...act asap and get an alignment...spend the $60-90 on gettin it done.

thats a good deal...lifetime, then u wont have to worry about raisin it and droppin it...cuz once the winter comes, u might not wanna raise it to mess up ur alignment....but then again, my car was so low that they couldnt align it in most places..and i got one done, but i scraped gettin up the ramp and not to mention that it wasnt a 100% alignment either..b/c they couldnt get the reading...but at the end it barely appeared, so they eyeballed it..which was better than nothing

hehe dats how mines came out when we first installed it, da guy i got it from put the wrong sleeve with the wrong spring so the front was jacked up even though it was half way down .. luckily we found a website with pics of GC + Kyb on a civic and end up finishing at 3am ... i have the front about 2" and the rear is 2.75", when i went to get the alignment my camber was wack out so I jus put on the ingalls one and got it down to -1/-0.6 for the fronts and rear is about -2 with 2washers, so i prolly need to add 2more back there .. about half finger gap in front and none in the rear

i think cars look better in general when their asses arent "squatting." unless maybe its a 64 impala hittin dem switches.
