#10087, "does adjusting coilovers adjust toe settings??"


          

would adjusting my coilovers lower or higher mess up the toe of the wheels? I know it will mess with the camber, but wondering about toe...thanks.

I suppose in theory if since the arms are not equal length, it could but I am really not sure. I know my toe was out when I dropped my car but not sure if that is what caused it.

I THINK IT DOES MESS UP THE TOE JUST A BIT CAUSE MY REAR HAVE THE CAMBER KIT AND THE TOE WAS ALL MESSED UP BECAUSE OF THE GREAT ME
AND THE FRONT IS SLIGHTLY TOED IN I BELIVED IT IS
I DONT THINK IT SHOULD MESS IT UP SO BADLY THAT YOUR TIRES WILL WEAR OUT LIKE MINE DID IN THE REAR

I believe so. I had mine aligned and then decided to raise it just slightly. Car drove horribly, so I took it in to get it realigned and it was toed out which made the driving very erratic.

yes camber and toe are changed when you adjust your height. Coilover are kinda goofy cuz each time you touch em you gotta get an alignment O_o
