everytime u change height u need to get an alignment, so if u lower it on the rack and align it, then raise again u need an alignment again. when ride height changes, camber changes, and toe changes

 

woah...im sorry but i thought it was my car... and i have full suspension travel belive it or not, i just wanted input on alignment ideas, not how to mod your car 101...thanks for your help, but i just dont appreciate the negative comments like " IDIOT" also "slammed" cars are in the slammed thread, i still defend my case "moderately lowered" being the term.

but my understanding is if you have toe and camber set at a certain height. shouldnt it be set for THAT height regaurdless of how much you raise/lower your car??im going to use some fake numbers for example. if im at 2 and i set my toe and camber to spec at this hieght, when i raise it to 4, its going to be off, understood. but when i drop my car back to 2 wouldnt i be at the correct setting? correct me if im wrong.. this is assuming that no changes to toe are(endlinks) and camber(upper arm) are made accidentally, pretty much settings staying constant.

 

theoretically that should work, but other things come into place like suspension bushings that could throw the settings off, even if you get it back to the same ride height.

Now I used to run 195/50-15 as well, pretty damn low on GC's, but I still made it onto the Hunter rack at my buddy's work. I had to take my bumper off, and the side skirts scraped a bit, but it wasn't too bad.



This is on 205/50-15, but I still made it on there with 195/50's

 

I recently noticed that someone with a 98-01 LS bone stock is working at a local grocery store. I need to sneak up there and measure wheel center-to-fender on that car and compare it to mine

 

My car is more slammed than that I think.

Do you know how to use wood planks? You can just drive the car up on the wood to clear the center lip on the rack.


I raise my car everytime I have to put it on the tow dolly to tow it to the track...once at the track I lower the car....then at end of the day I raise it back up to get it on the tow dolly.

I just use a paint marker or duct tape around the threads to mark where it should be lowered....it doesn't cause any problems.

Go for it

 

thanks for the input!! i think im going to try to ge my car up on the rack, no bumper, using wood if needed. if that FAILS then im going to raise lower and get the alignment.

 

I have just lowered my car, and the problem is, all my measurements are exactly the same, but my car is sitting lop sided by an inch. Checked every point on the new suspension. Just got the car, so I don't know if it were sitting this way before or not. any solutions?
