Default check out the new wheels and alignment specs

Hey picked up a set of vsxx from a member here isam250 great dude by the way!!, here are some updated pictures of the ride. With the lip it sits pretty low so I might just get rid of it. Cant make it up a driveway without being careful. No camber/toe kit.

The car is pretty low sitting on tanabe coils with 30mm front RCA kit.

Yes those are stock specs for the alignment. I didn't have any custom specs for them to use. I didn't need anything special just wanted to dial it all in.

use to live in OC when I went to UCI, but I am in Ventura County. just remember you need 19" wheels to run RCA kit. If you do not do anything to the rear I don't see why you need a rear alignment. You probably don't even need a front alignment. I installed coilovers on my car and rode around for over a year and alignment was not off by much. However it is always advisable that you get an entire 4 wheel alignment.

do you recommend I wait to install the rca kit until I switch to the 19 inch wheels. current is 18 inch stock. i'll have the alignment checked regardless since i tend to slightly drift to the right. tires seems to be evenly worn though.

it wont even fit on 18 inch stock wheels. that's why you need 19+
