^ Looks good! I was up till 3 A.M. Friday night so I was not about to go to Cars & Cafe at 7.
But here's my baby about 2 inches lower in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Megan EZ Street Coilovers are great, smooth but stiff! No bounce, just greatness! Haha

I don't think Full Blown has an alignment rack, & if they were to do the alignment right after the install, wouldn't that be thrown off by the coils settling in? It's funny though because the car drives straight while letting go of the wheel, but my back right wheel has a little more camber than the right. So I'm still going to get it aligned at Imola on Tuesday, my friend suggested getting it corner balanced but I don't see that necessary with street use, especially when half the time my girlfriend is in the car .

I had my GS corner balanced when I was in Chicago 3 weeks ago. Ive always had it done. Helps with the over all feeling IMO. So if you're not tracking or super concerned a simple alignment will suffice.
Am am however looking to acquire some scales soon, so I may need some cars to try them out. I'll post when/if this happens. (this goes for all MN people)
The IS looks sick though! I like the stance. And the only reason I was shocked at the price is I used to charge about half that.

yeah I would have it aligned because its 100% not correct. Even if it feels like it. When I would do installs at my old shop in Chicago, I'd tell my customers to put on 100-200 miles and come back for their alignment. Because they will settle.
