Ive just finished installing my 17 inch work vs-xx and eibach pro kit on my ap1.
Do I need to make an alignment?

 

Yes.

 

Absolutely....and post some pics!!!

 

Wait a week or two for the springs to settle a bit, then get an alignment

 

Ill post some pics when the car get out of storage... This freaking snow need to be gone before!

Anyone that run similar setup have some alignment spec? I dont really trust people here.

 

What are the wheel sizes + offsets?

 

17"x7" +47 offset front, 17"x8" +45 offset rear
tire are 225 and 245

 

Wow -- I have an almost identical set-up:
Eibach Pro-kit on an Ap1
17x7 +45
17x8 +45

I had my car aligned with the "UK specs" WHICH I LOVE. Car performs perfectly with this alignment.

Here is a pic, but (IMO) print out the UK specs and take them with you to the alignment shop.

 

Thanks I will do it!

 

def get alignment. wait for springs to settle, then get ride height where you want it. just dropping it adds camber. i know everyone here hates on me for saying this, but uk specs eat tires faster then us spec alignment. i had uk for 7k miles or so. fronts wore uneven, so did rears. i just put on new tires, and had them get as close to us spec as they could. with drop the best they could get was -.5F -1.5R. if you dont autox the car, dont do the uk specs. you wont benefit enough, and you will wear uneven. i think anyone that dailys there car with crazy camber must overinflate the tires. just a thought. i have been runing 32 cold and that gets me good wear on stock camber.
