I'm planning on getting my TRD springs, TRD Rear Sway Bar and DC Tower Strut Bar installed this Friday. When should I go get F&R alignment? Should I give the springs some time to settle or get it done immediately? Thanks.

 

Ideally you should get it done as soon as possible...especially if youve spent good money on better tires. If youre on stockers and are looking for a reason to upgrade you tires like me , then not getting the car aligned will help to wear them out quicker if the toe has changed. My car still tracks perfectly straight and handles nicely, but Im not sure whether or not the toe is out of whack.

 

would you then say every oil change??? 3-5k

 

i drove mine for a few miles just to check things out...... then got my alignment done.

 

yeah, definitely get alignment done asap because it totally makes a difference in under/over steer after it is balanced out

for me i waited, over 4 months until i got alignment done.

mileage per gallon went up!

 

ok talked to the pro's

when you have your vehicle dropped you must do it every 3k-5k miles!

hope it helps!

 

if it really helps mpg then haha i havent done it since i dropped my car. no wonder i have been getting ____ty mpg

 

just give it 1-2 weeks to settle then get your alignment done.. did you already get your stuff? R you getting it installed at power cerritos?

 

is there any recomended place to get alignment done? or should i just go over to a tire shop

 

Sound s a little excessive to me. In fact, sounds expensive to me. I have 39,000 on my box, and it been dropped since it had 800 miles. Now I have lowered over a dozen TC's and only one needed an alignment, but then he found out after paying $120.00 for his alignment, he still had the front end shake. Turned out front tire was out of balance and the alignment was not needed.

I am not saying that an alignment is not a good thing, but if you notice an under or oversteer, or abnormal tire wear then by all means get it to a shop.
