Default Ground Controls have to settle??

I am going to be installing the Ground Controls this Sunday along with the skunk2 front (skunk2 doesn't make the rear) camber kit and the washer / bolt trick in the rear.

Once I adjust the GC's after installing them do I need to let them settle for a week or so before getting an alignment?

I am hoping to get the alignment / camber kit adjusted on the monday (following day).

Thanks for any help on this!

Yesh - your car will drop another 1/4 - 1/2 inch after you install. Give it a week to be safe. May need to adjust front driver side level if you're a fat boy (will settle lower and make your car look slightly lop sided).

I always suggest getting your car corner weighted with coilovers.

corner weighting: adjusting ride height of each corner so as to shift weight for optimal balance

I'm not even sure if I know what that means.

Anyhow, I am just going to adjust the height give it 2 weeks, readjust and get the alignment done.....

Shop said between $69 & $89
