so i just install some springs on my dc2 integra and was wondering if it is a must to get it aligned after. also how would i even know if it needs an alignment? sorry i know im a noob but its my first car.

 

I would sug it to get your toe back in spec. Excessive toe in along with camber will cause a drastic increase in inside camber wear. If you get it aligned it toe front and rear will be set back into spec and it will handle slightly better and you wont have as drastic inside camber wear.

 

You need an alignment every time you change the ride height of the car. (unless you like buying new tires every couple hundred miles)

 

what if i didnt lower my car, but want my alignment adjusted because i bought new tires. i always wondered what could be adjusted on the rear suspension? it seems like everything is fixed there and can only add shims, or theres nothing to align?

 

#14, toe.

 

Yep, Its a slide bolt thats worthless. They make after market parts for it which work a ton better.

 

I've been lowerd for over a year, no gap in front tight 1 finger in back with no alignment.
My toe didn't go crazy like people said it would, light camber wear after a year is all I see.
But if I did it again I would get alingment.
