Default Alignment

Lowered my car on Megan Racing street coils which I have come to love.

Anywho, I was under the car today changing oil and noticed that my stock tires are done. Still have about 50 percent tread on the outside of the tire, but the inside is smooth as a babies bottom.

I have the car lowered a decent amount. I would guess near a three inch drop. Enough to get one finger under the rear tire and the wheel well, with the front sitting flush.

Where do you guys go for your alignments, and will they be able to put it close to stock specs with it being as low as it is?


BTW: I am also getting new tires before I get it aligned. Where do you guys order from, and also what is everyones suggestions on tires?

i went to pacific automotive for my alignment. they can accomodate whatever specs you need. if you plan on getting reon, they can also provide papers.

as far as tires, ill let you know. im researching myself. hopefully, my rims will be here in a few weeks. good luck.

camber kit and heading to island brake an alignment is a good idea. Hawaiian tire and auto center which is right by them is real good too, plus they are a tirerack approved installer. makes it easy cuz you can get tires drop shipped directly to them then just drive down.

I'm running RE01R's on the front of my S and I love um, gonna switch to those in the rear shortly.

So do I need this camber kit, if I want a more track oriented alignment on the stock height suspension.. or would it be fine just using all of the stock adjusters?

Don't know any shops that sell 5.56 in bulk. I just get mine from Wal-Mart back home, but the Army gives it to me for free now.
