Thread: Alignment?

So yesterday I lowered my B14, and the car still drives fine. Should I still take the car to get an alignment. The car is on agx and ground controls,,the suspension was already on the car I just lowered it.

You can get it aligned but it will never be back to 100 % .

If you want it proper it takes some $$$ camber plates, Toe bolts etc.

PM Wayne he had a small solution to aligning the toe .
Its all good you just waste tires faster on the inside.

That's one of my next suspension up grades is the plates

You want to get the toe checked quick. It can tear up a set of tires pretty fast. Camber you can do nothing about but it should be in a good range unless you went more than 3".

I prob dropped it around 3inches maybe less, the tires are 205-55-15 and the car is about an inch over the tires.

Id call that 2-2.5"

this^^ or you will be eating tires fast

Toe may not feel like it's out but it can be out on both front tires so it's not pulling but it will destroy your tires quick. Camber will destroy tires even faster if left unchecked. So yes I'd get it checked.

When I dropped mine I checked it right then and there. But I work at a dealer so I had the ability to do so. The only thing that was way out on my car was the LF camber which was at -2.5°. The car drove just fine cause my tires made the car pull like hell to the left so the neg camber corrected the tire pull and the car actually drove straight . I did the quick fix with an offset shock bolt until I could find a set of camber plates.

you can check it and semi correct it yourself with fishing line and hooks...put one hook on the inboard side of the rear tire, then go and wrap it around to the inboard side of the front tire so the line crosses each tire across the center line...put your steering wheel straight and the adjust your toe using the tie rods...try to get the line to be flush across all 4 places it crosses rubber and the line looks straight...it's nit perfect but it will get you to a shop and won't shred the tires very mutch at all or anything and it actually comes out pretty dam close

now remember every time you jack up the car and unload the suspension your alignment will go off, so after getting one try to jack the car up by the control arm and put the jack stands on there as well...this will help in preventing that in the future.
