alignment after suspension mod??
is this just a general rule of thumb? what is the logic behind it? i put eibach springs on last weekend and only had the car out a short while. the only thing i might of noticed is a little pull under braking but thats it. haven't driven it enough to check more.
info? thanks!

Yeah, I think you're supposed to get an alignment when you change shocks and stuff. When you work on the suspension, the geometry changes bc you are fitting new parts.
BTW, go to a good alignment shop. Not all shops know how to align cars properly. The Goodyears that I went to actually forgot to tighten my tie rods so the alignment got all f-up in 3 wks. This happened twice at the same shop and costed me a set of tires.

The deal is that although you may not notice any pull or change in aligment, but you may now have a different camber which will lead to uneven (usually excressive) wear on your tires.
That being said, I did my Eibachs seven months ago and I still haven't done my alignment ;-) ... I'll will do it, however, in the next two months when I install the nylon busings, stiffer sway bars all around, and some Koni shocks.
