Mine wasn't even off that much! - everything was within spec!



1.4"F and 1.3" R
What is your alignment spec?

My front is -1.6ish and my rear is -1.8 and -2.0...

How were you able to put it all within spec?

Looks good. I got some eibach springs in my garage be slow about getting them installed cause I got a semi steep driveway. But after I install my rims I think I am gonna go ahead and take the plunge.

Looking clean! H&R is one of my top contenders in choosing what springs to buy. I am looking at the eibach and tein s-techs too. Any reason why you picked H&R over everything else?

to quote lobuxracer's post in that thread:



this should serve as an FYI for anyone looking to make suspension modifications.

btw, if your springs are "settling" now, does that mean they'll be "sagging" in the future? just a thought for those thinking that springs "settle"...
so what do u think is the proper way? so I can keep in mind when I get mine installed. thx

My boy recommended and ordered them for me - i went with his better judgment - but i definitely cant complain - the ride to me is still stock with just a tad of extra bounce. When I get my wheels I'll have to decide if i want to go lower though but i hope not hehehe
