Default Question about rear alignment after lowering the car!

Hello,

Soon i will be installing my Koni/GC and i just want to know if i need aftermarket rear camber kit or rear adjustable toe?
or adjusting the OEM compensator arm will do the job?

Any other things to consider when lowering the car?

thanks

nothing needed.

just adjust toe front and rear.

get a print out. if something is off, then you need to find the issue and replace the bent/worn part.

okay great.
One more question..

I have read some comments saying that the alignment should be done after driving the car for couple of days so that the new suspenson breaks even.

Is that true?

not necessary. i wouldnt be in a rush either. just get to it within a few days, or as soon as possible.

just tighten your bushings under load.

if you lower it a little, you just tighten the ones you loosened.

if you lowered it a lot, then try to do as many as you can, like the front uppers and lower chassis ones.
