Specs needed for proper alignment. Purchased L-tuned Struts & Eibach Springs
I purchased the above mentioned parts. However, no alignment shop said they can do it since the installed parts will lower the ride by about 1" to 1.25". They said they need the specs in order to align the car properly. Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know the specs so that i can tell the alignment shop? Thanks

O man..i am so confused. I called 5 alignment shops in town and they all said the same thing. They dont know how to do it. I said its only lowering the ride by 1"...but they said it would have to go back to the dealership for alignment..and im not gonna do that. the dealer here in town will never get a penny from me. They were very rude to me from the beginning.

Dont tell them about the drop. Just make an appointment, and let them do their work.
Its not that hard.......usually takes more time, but they should be able to get factory specs in line.
Good luck.

They should be able to align it to either stock or for a good street performance setup.
We do >2" drops all the time and can usually get things close enough to not cause excessive tire wear problems. Anything past 1.5" is becoming borderline though.
We have some pretty decent specs that we set stuff to for good street performance and also good tire wear characteristics.
