Im bout to buy a set of tokico shocks wit springs on them ....after i bolt them on?? must i need an alignment?? What happens if i dont??
I heard there were alignmnet kits where u can do it yourself..where can i find one??

 

You should definitely get an alignment. Changing the right height affects the suspension geometry.

Most alignment machines these days are computer controlled and very accurate. There's no way you could do as good a job at home. Besides, considering how little it costs, and the huge impact a bad alignment can have on a car's handling, a proper alignment is pretty good value for money.

 

most tire places will do a free allignment job with purchase of new tires.

 

Well, allignment is NOT a do it yourself thing.... You need to put it on a machine.

Mazdatrix and racingbeat both sell a rear camber adjustment bar that allows you to adjust the camber of the rear suspension.

Camber plates can aslo be purchased for the front suspension as well, but lowering affects the rear suspension more.

 

Those machines are really cool. Plus the instructions they give to fix the alignment, any monkey could follow.

 

The Firestone down here offers a lifetime allignment for 135 bucks. You can take her in as many times as you want for an alignment as long as you don't sell her. Good deal if you ask me.

Get an alignment and make sure to check the camber if lowering more than 1" total
