just curious.... did any one get an alignment after lowering their car? if so, did it need major adjusting?

 

[Labfish]

Yes, and yes. Want me to find the old threads on this subject?

 

[hamster]

there are old threads?? sorry.... i skimmed

 

[Labfish]

Might be a few pages back

It's not a problem...hehe

 

[Plissken]

I could scan my results if anybody cares.

 

[hamster]

oh!! *raises hand*

[Labfish]

I've got mine posted here

 

[hamster]

thanks labfish... yeah.. it did need an alignment.. the toe alignment was pretty bad

 

[Labfish]

Yes it was

there's a thread on here. D needs tires because he didn't get his toe adjusted.

 

[Plissken]

i learned my lesson when i lowered my civic....

 

[hamster]

cool.. u have pictures to explain to the non techies

 

[Labfish]

Hey Pliss...good to see at least ours were fairly similarily out. How much did yours cost?

 

[Plissken]

$80 something at the dealership.

 

[Labfish]

I had to pay 100$ at a recommeded auto shop by the place that put on the wheels. My dealership didn't have a large enough sensor for my 18's.

 

[Plissken]

That sucks. Did the spring install cost less than because they didn't align it?

 

[Labfish]

No - it was never part of the price. My dealership only charged for 2 hours to do it, so 180$ and I had the 50$ scion gift card....so with the parts charge it was $150.

I always pay $100 because I know the guy who does it, and his work is exceptional. Way better than any computerized alignment.

 

[Labfish]

Yeah, this place was highly recommended and I think he did a fine job.

 

[lo bux racer]

The easy way to check is to run through a set of cones at 50 yards or so before and after alignment. You should have a significant timed difference if the alignment went from bad to good.
