Aftermarket Springs = Need alignment??
Went to a shop.. and they quoted
me $400 to install some Eibach springs. (waaay over priced).
then after I picked up my jaw off the ground, the guy
had the nerve to say. And that doesn't include alignment, which
he say is needed..
Needless to say I got out of there asap...
Anyways.. when you install springs.. Do you really need an alignment??
thanks

Take your car to Curry's Auto in Sterling, VA (www.currysauto.com). They'll quote you a fair price (tell 'em Ramy sent you) and they'll do the alignment for ya too. And yes, you do need it whenever you change the suspension/ride height.

You can always bring it to me...I will do it for a 30 pack on stones...A pack of smokes...And just for something to do... You could probabley drive down here and back and get it done cheaper than $400!!!

Yes- the car needs an alignment when it is lowered..
I just finished installing springs/struts in my car…I ran into a minor issue, but not that difficult to do..
