How long will it take for the springs to settle so I can get it properly aligned? Also what is the best place to get it aligned? Thanks for the help!!

 

I say wait a month or two.. no need to rush unless you notice a bad ride.. I did my alignment about 4 months after and did not notice any tire wear..

 

just installed my h-techs 3 days ago and imma do mine probably in 2 weeks just to let it settle. i see a little camber (you have to look really closely to tell) but i dont feel the car pulling off to the left or right so i guess im ok.

 

Thanks guys. Im gonna wait til I hit 1k miles after the swap and then get the lifetime alignment at Firestone for $130

 

i been on my s-tech drop for 2 months now..no alignment needed yet

 

you dont need that long to get an alignment done!!... honestly it will take a few days for it to settle. depending on your driving habbits and road. quick way to help them along is after instal and putting the car on load, hop in the back and jump in the trunk a few times to give the spring/shock travel and do the same in the front but you will need to jump from the driver and passenger side bottom door sils. i have stechs also and waited a good week/ week and a half before alignment and camber adjustment. you will need it to adjust some of the camber and toe in/out depending on your driving prefrences.

do not wait to long as you will wear out the inside of your tires over a long period of time.

as far as shops, try looking for one with laser/digital alignment. if not, ask around local forums or hang outs or friends with refrences to good alignment shops.

also make sure they show you the numbers before and after alignment. any good shop should be able to give you a print out of the current and after alignment so you see were you -/+ camber is.

 

okay you should get it done after like 1 or 2 just to let it settle in.. dont wait so long to get an alignment done becuase of tire ware that could happen regardless if it seems you dont need an alignment.

 

i did mine the same day drop the springs and alignment. my dad friend did it

 

Yeah get it soon, i didn't do mine yet 12,000 miles on H-Techs, the tire wear is bad. I rotated my tires, I just gotta find time to get to an alignment shop.

 

so when you get the alignment it corrects any camber issues or do you have to buy a camber kit if so how much is that? I got a wife that gets ____ed every time I want something else for my ride.

 

alignment fixes camber and toe issues
