I went to a Toyota/Scion dealership today, and had a 4 wheel alignment done. I installed the springs and sways 5-6 days ago... I didn't want to wait 2 weeks since I'm driving to the Scion Shootout sponsered by ZPI.

Anyways, they told me that they couldn't get the alignment in spec for the camber on the rear end... the best they said they could get it was at -1.8º on both sides, which is way too off for me, and any idiot should be able to adjust the rear camber better than that. It's not like I have a 3-4" drop!

I'm ____ed that I spent $60 on a half-assed alignment, at the dealership no less. You would think the baboons they have working there would at least try to do their job.

So anyways, has anyone else with Hotchkis springs had any alignment problems? I don't want to be running that much negative camber all the time, especially when I get my Azenis RT 615's on my new wheels. I'll probably call around tomorrow, but do I have to get the Hotchkis adjustable camber links now too? I thought those were just for coilovers?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

i got my hotchkis springs installed by speed concept and then went to get a 4 wheel alignment at les schwab. everything went well. only the two front wheels needed it.
