i've had the tein basic coilovers for 2 months now and havent gotten an alignment.. i drive the car really hard on turns.... i went to STS and they wont give me a warranty... im assuming they wont do a good job because they wont give me warranty anyways... should i get still get the alignment? what are the consquences if i dont... besides tire wear..

 

i had the tein basics for over 5 months and didnt do an alignment yet, but im getting one tomarrow because i dropped it more like a week ago....and now my rear camber is terrible and dont want any tire wear.

 

you should get an alignment. if you make suspension changes and don't your cars toe and camber will be off. this can result in increased tire wear and loss of control at the cars handling limits especially in the rain.

 

Camber doesn't increase tire wear much especially in the rera just the let you know. its Caster that does it. and toe too. mmmyah.

oh and get an alignment.

 

thanks for the info....and i just got my alignment thank u

 

thanks for the reply guys.. but if i do end up gettin the alignment.. should i get the hotchkis camber kit?? i dont slam my coilovers ... i always have 3 to 4 notches left to slam it more...

 

Caster is the amount of weight in the car while an alignment is being done. No?

And camber does increase tire wear if there's nothing done to offset it...such as toe-in.

 

You do know that slamming the car all the way down to the ground actually hinders performance right? Dropping it more than 2 or so inches hinders it.

 

kinda hard to explain caster but its pretty much camber when the wheels are turned. but yeah camber still does increase tire wear.

slamming your car def effect performance but its all for show right? so no biggy. i mean you can easily say lesser camber hinders performance as well.
you only need a camber kit if your drop is so low that the stock arms cannot go back to factory specs.
