    Default For those who lower without an alignment

    I lowered mine with eibach springs and front m5 spring cushions. after driving a week it drove a perfect straight line so i thought i didnt need an alignment. a little over a month later i noticed some serious inner tire wear on drivers side front tire, so i took it in and here are the surprising results:

    Front left toe:

    stock range:0.11 - 0.19 degrees
    before:-0.31
    after:0.15

    Front Right Toe:

    stock range:0.11 - 0.19 degrees
    before:-0.94 WOW
    after:0.13


    toe was extremely bad, camber/caster was near perfect.

    after driving on it aligned, all i can say is oh my god...

    it bites the pavement like ive never experienced, i cant wait to take it on the twisties now

    anytime you R&R the front end parts, you do an alignment.
