simple questions about lowering
Hey guys, I bought some sportlines springs off of someone on this forum and I plan to get it installed within these 2 days. I was just wondering, when theyre being installed, is there anything I should worry about or keep a look out for while its being done? Also after installed, will my allignment be really off? And will the camber be more on 1 side than the other? Im just wondering this because if i remember, Ive seen some people post about have -1 on one side in the rear and -3 on the other side in the rear wheels which sounds kinda scary. well, any info or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

It might be off slightly.
You dont want to go to an Alignment Shop for a couple weeks becayse the Springs need to "settle".
Then tell the Alignment shop you want "Factory Specs"..

The right rear will be but it's already off to begin with. Watch out for the position of the dot on the upper strut mount because that will have to be put back to the same spot. Don't turn or twist the top mount after getting it off without marking the position of the top mount related to the bottom spring rest of the strut body. Also McPherson style spring compressors will be very helpful and a buddy as well. Always pay attention to the position of everything and make sure you tighten everything down properly.
