Default TEIN springs installed, car pulling to right

I just had TEIN S-Tech Med installed. The car is now pulling to the right. Some of my friend said not to do an alignment right after lowering the car, but to let the springs settle for 1-2 weeks.

Is that correct? How long should I wait before getting an alignment?

I'm going to be checking my tire pressures but the car was not pulling to the right when the car did not get lowered.

you need an alignement. You can wait depending on how bad you really need one. if it pulls hard to the right you should do it real quick.

If you do wait you will not only have to pay for an alignment but tires.

Get an alignment done. The "settling" should occur over the first night under the weight of the car.

Do you have any pics of what the car looks like with the springs on? I was thinking of getting a set, but I don't want the car to be too low.

thanks,
Jon

Sorry RaVAGE00 but your car is so slow.

I'm going to get my alignment done today w/laser oooo weee... Better be worth the friggen cost. $120 CDN.

These TEIN S-Tech slam the car real nice. A little lower in the front than the rear. Looks better than stock. What spoils my party is the alignment, once that is done I'll test the improvement over stock.

Feel is good, well matched with the stock OE shocks. You feel jabs in the kidneys now, also a big plus being lower improve visability.

Want to get a Digital Camera in the near future.. when I do I'll show you pics of the car.

Alignment done. Pretty good. Steering a bit more twitchy and the car follows the ruts more but it does drive straight.
