Alignment OK after installing Eibach Pro-Kit or Tanabe NF210?
Alignment OK after installing Eibach Pro-Kit or Tanabe NF210?
Hello,
Seems to be a lot of posts about people dropping their IS's but I haven't read anything about any alignment issues. So those with the Eibach Pro-Kit or Tanabe NF210, were you able to get your alignment back within the specified range?
Thanks,
TJ

i called 3 alignment shops out here in socal and all 3 did not have 2IS specs yet. i will try again this weekend.
as of right now, seems like dealerships are the only places to get alignment.

even if they do decide to do it, won't the OEM specs be wrong since the car is lowered?

In terms of the adjustability, there is usually a little adjustment available with the factory suspension pieces/parts. Much of it depends on the amount of drop.

i have seen a fixed up LS400 at my local dealership getting alignment. it was fixed up VIP style with the wheels "poking" out. alignment is all labor, so if there is a problem, they just blame you for lowering your car and collect your money.

I would just call up the local dealer(s) and ask them to fax you a copy of their alignment specs out of their service manuals.
If no one gets this before I take mine in for it's 1K mile check-up in about 2 weeks, I'll try to get it from my service advisor then.

Alignment should be able to get back within factory ranges with the NF210. On an IS250 AWD, one Lexus dealership reported that front was able to be corrected within factory specs, and the rear was within a degree.
pr0vakativ, please do post that information! It will be a great help for the 2IS owners

It'd be interesting to see the tread life for the tires of these lowered IS's with these more agressive tire wheel combos and iffy alignments. Also don't forget that after a month or two when these new springs settle down your alignments will be off again.
