Alright guys I just ordered the hotchkis springs and sway set and I'm waiting for them to come in. I'm going to get them installed at a local shop. I was just curious is there is anything extra I need for the installation or anything special. From what I've read, I want to have the front sways soft and the rear sways stiff. I also know that I want to get an alignment done as well. Do I have to get my car aligned right away or is it safe to get it done in like 2-3 days? My car is a daily driver and I'm pretty much stock right now. I have stock wheel/tires as well. I was reading somewhere also about needed to get different endlinks maybe?

 

dont get an alignment right after the installation. wait about 2-3 weeks, or you'll basically just be wasting money. for the sways, you might want new endlinks that dezod sells, but you don't need them. for now. but down the line, the stiffness of hotchkis is going to catch up to the skinny little stock endlinks.

 

let the new suspension components settle before you align the car.. wait 2 weeks or so..

 

just curious.. how much will the install cost?

 

i'd guess in the ballpark of 200ish
