Coilovers and Camber
I had a post the other day and from it i decided to purchase coil overs in order to lower my car. Would i need to adjust my camber once these are installed and lowered?? If so, how bout if i raise it back...the camber would be off again. Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks!

Yes, you technically need to get an alignment every time you change the height of your car.

Yes they do. If you are too low, you'll need a camber kit to get the camber back within factory specs. You might want to look into buying a lifetime alignment plan. I know firestone has a deal for $130 you can get it aligned forever.

well one word of advice: don't go to firestone. they have no clue on what is happening. i have their plan and they alway do just the toe of the car.
