I'm installing a new set of koni yellows and h&r sports this week. I wanted to know if any alignment shop could align a lowered car?

Also, would the stock/oem specs that the alignment machine has be good enough for a daily driver or is it possible for me to request certain specs?

thanks

if you dont have any adjustable camber kits, the only thing your gonna be able to adjust is toe. any alignment shop can do it. dont let them get you on this "performance alighnment" or "lowered car alignment" for $100+

just get them to set your toe back to factory specs. personaly, i would run 1/16th toe out in front and exactly 0 out back

 

thanks for the warning...anyone else wanna chime in?

thanks

Really not much else to say.....

ditto. see what happens after the adjustment readings and go from there.

 

Depends on how much it's "lowered", and whether they can get it on the alignment rack w/o rubbing the lip, etc.

 

Toe _out_ in the front?

Doesn't that make the car darty on the highway?

Seems like you'd want to run just a little toe in on the fronts unless you want a hardcore setup for autox or road course... ?

 

set front toe to ZERO (same with the rear), if you're mostly going to drive it on the street.

on a fwd, you don't neeed to set the front toe in to drive straight. (rwd would be a different issue as the weight transfer & the way you put down the power is different.)

 

thanks for all the replies...

from what I gathered, stock specs for a daily street driver will be just fine

thanks

firestone lifetime alignment is the shiznitz.

Not if you have modified suspension or exacting alignment specs on a fully adjustable suspension (from what I've heard).

You get what you pay for.

Btw, thanks for the data, Sean.
