I think a few people know i got my car lowered here not to to long ago and also installed the rear shocks a few weeks back. Me and dad installed the new Monroe struts yesturday b4 the great feast.I noticed after we were done the front tries were badly out of alignment,prolly from just installing the struts cuz of the one bolt that is used to align them........Anyone think im gonna need a kit or will a place be able to bring the tires back to spec? The tires aren't terribly out of wack but its noticible.Thnx

Should not be a problem...if you take it the right place, like a shop that specializes in alignment. I have had my springs in for nearly a year with no alignment problems at all; no unusal wear from the fron or rear...but I am thinking of having some toe in done on the rear for fun! :brows:

Yea,i didn't think there would be a problem.My dad and I went to all the different places he could think of that did or were expirenced in alignment and as soon as he mentioned that we put on new struts and lowering springs they just said they couldn't garuntee it.The one place everyone referred us to was of course closed til Monday,so i'll have to wait til then to take my carup there after school.Every shop around here just does an a$$ rape on you for labor work,places were wanting 45-65 for alignment,45 isn't bad at all but 65,eh im a little weary on that..........Thnx tho Jay,always the helper:)

for our cars the drop is not big enough for us to need a camber kit... like stated... just a alignment and you should be ok... but get one ASAP
