Default Going for an alignment tomorrow @ 7am (yikes that's early!)

I'm concerned with how the 1" drop (TRD springs) and the OTG spacers may affect the Hunter alignment rack's ability to see the true toe/camber etc.

The reason I'm asking if this is a concern is that when I had my Ford Focus, they had specific alignment specs for an SVT Focus, which was lowered by 1" as well.

On one occasion, I got an alignment on the Focus, they used the "normal" specs, and the computer told them to keep pulling the toe inwards! When the screen showed all "green", I could *visibly* notice that the front wheels were pointing inwards! Only after using the SVT specs were the front wheels toe'd in normally.

Will this happen on my xA? Am I being paranoid? (who's that following me?)

Thanks,

Al

i just dropped my xb 2.25 and the shop had no problem with aligning my wheels for me. so i think you should be fine, but i dont know if the spacers would effect it any.
