12859, Lowered car... now what? (shocks/alignment quesitons) Posted by Mystic511, Oct-21-02 03:57 AM
Ok, I just spent 13 hours yesterday putting in Eibach Pro-kits and Tokico Illuminas in my car. 15 Dollar camber too.
I know that alignment should be checked after lowering... but my alignment seems perfectly fine. No shaking at high speeds or anything. Should I just get it checked out anyway?
And anyone know how to configure the adjustable Illumina's? I know you turn clockwise to make it stiffer, but I can't tell if turning it more then one full revolution does anything. My guess is that 3 always means 3 stiffness no matter how many turns you go around? I hope so.. if not, my shocks may all be on different settings.

take it in to get aligned yours might feel fine but Im sure its out of spec, its impossible to keep the same toe in/out and camber if you just dropped 1.3 inches take it in your tires will thank you, Ive gone through my second set of tires in just 10,000 miles thanks to bad camber in the rear. I too need to do the 15 buck camber mod

You think it looks good now. It won't be in about a week. As the new suspension settles, the car drops another couple tenths of an inch and you will definitely notice the camber trouble in the rear. Why on earth did it take you 13 hours? We did mine in about 4...

Mine took 5 on H&R Race Springs and Tokico Blues. Yur lucky you got the adjustable ones. I wish I got them. I have yet to get an alignment, but I do have the ingalls rear camber kit installed, and the front which isnt installed. Goodluck man

haha it took me longer than 13 hrs, try two days. yeah get an alignment, don't worry bout turning the settings on the shocks. just keep on turning until u line up the marks.

I am glad that I am not the only person to take 10+ hours to lower there car. I just jumped in and started taking shit out. Granted this was my first time lowering a car, I had no help whatsoever. I still thought I was a dumbass.
