just got it done and drove 50 miles

I did the trd lowering with struts and sway....love it best thing to done yet

anyway, when should i get an alignment...

thanks

 

if it needs it and you get one for free with your warranty. I think it is in the first 12 months unlimited miles, but not sure

 

always do it immediately after you lower a car, no matter how far the drop is, it will still mess up the alignment

 

who installed the suspension?

if the dealer or a shop did it the alignment should have been done then. if you did it id have it done not ASAP but soon, give everything a chance to settle. most places offer a 6mo to a year warranty so have it checked before it is up, or sooner if you notice anything out of the ordinary like tire wear, pulling, crooked steering wheel etc....

 

We did it today with TRD stuff...
I think i will have it checked next week.

 

I just installed tein s-techs and im gonna give it a little while to settle cause i mesured mine and my buddies and his have been on there for about a year and mesurments showed his is 1 1/4 inch lower in front and 3/4 lower in rear so i'm gonna let mine settle before I get alignment

 

I think most shops give you a warranty on the allignment--you can bring it back after awhile and have it checked. If that is the case--there is no need to wait.

 

where is my buzzer to tell most of you that your wrong? wait at least a week before getting an alignment, the shocks and springs need to settle. if you got an alignment immediately after lowering it, it would just be off in a week anyway as the car settles lower.

i got full trd suspension and waited a week before alignment.

 

Pretty much the same here,
I put the springs and sway bar on and drove it on the stock tires for about 5 days in pretty rough driving (spirited driving on Wisconsin roads). According to the paperwork and my service adviser rear no change, front both camber and toe-in adjustments.

 

Do you guys think the a slight toe in like +.05 on for front wheels is good for highway driving. I was told by an very good mechanic that is keeps the car from wandering.

 

So after having the s techs on now for about 5 months, I hadn't aligned it all yet, a few days ago, blown front passenger tire! The inside of the tire was bald, the center and outside was fine. I knew better, just been procrastinating. So don't be a lazy @ss like me, go align your lowered box. ;)

 

Can someone confirm this? I did my own TRD springs install and it would be great if the dealer covered the alignment.

Also I totally agree that you need to wait at least a week for the suspension to settle.

 

ofcourse not. you lowered the car, the alignment is going to be off period. since it is something you deliberate did, you have to pay for the alignment.

now alot of places garentee their alignments some time. but anyway.
