Quick question regarding alignment spec's, I know that spacers and wheel offsets dont affect alignment, so if I change wheels, or add/remove spacers, I wouldn't need to get anything realigned.

But what if I adjust height on my coilovers for the car? Would I have to get alignments everytime it's adjusted?

Anywho, I've got a set of Megan coilovers as the only suspension mod, on stock wheels, looking for daily driving/sprited driving spec's, maybe track once or twice a year, but not much, what are some recommended spec's that I can give to the tech?

 

yes you do need to get an alignment when you adjust the height, going lower will give you more camber and change your alignment etc

 

why wouldnt spacers and wheel offsets affect your alignment? i'm fairly certain it will.

also, YES when you adjust your ride height you will need to get an alignment.

these are the suspension specs that i like to run:

camber: -1.75 F // -2.25 R
caster: +7
toe in: 1/16-in F // 1/4-in R

this is just me though..... look to get corner balanced too.

 

Spacers and offsets will affect the width of the track, but they won't affect the alignment.

Think about it... You don't change anything physical with the suspension geometry by wheel placement. the control arm, shock, knuckle, etc all stay in the same place. 5 degrees of toe will still be 5 degrees of toe.

now with a super wide track you will have greater moments on the suspension so the shock may compress more to compensate, but its nothing to worry about for +/- 20mm or what have you.
