you don't have to, but to get the most out of your suspension, any changes in the ride height will slightly effect the overall balance of the vehicle.

Unless you're into serious tracking/autox'ing, corner-weighting on our car is not necessary. The balance on the car is excellent. I've had mine corner-weighted several times after the removal of weight from various regions of the car. Even still, getting on the scales before any adjustments showed the car was still .


Exception: The person installing coilovers doesn't install them correctly or doesn't preload, then you might have a measurable difference between diagonals.

Question.

-The suspension adjustments bolts, toe arm, etc. must be factory
-Additional charges may apply to adjustment of aftermarket suspension components


I have Koni yellows with ground controls and eibach prings. Is there a way to set my camber so that the rear wheels sit a little straighter and don't wear the inside after 5000 miles? Would this be custom or anything out of spec? Still same price?

You're just setting the camber to a custom spec, something mentioned as being included in the price listed. The "suspension adjustments bolts, toe arm, etc. must be factory" has to do with aftermarket camber plates (like from SPC), toe arms, etc. Your springs/shocks are irrelevant.

It doesn't matter if you have koni w/eibach springs, as long as we're not adjusting the ride height, the price will still be the same. Most of the tire wear in the rear are a result of toe-in not necessarily camber. You can talk to Toan when you come in for the alignment and discuss what you're looking to get out of your suspension setting and he can make recommendations then.

AnimeS2k,
Since you have already scheduled an alignment for Oct. prior to this announcement, the same special pricing applies to you as well.
