vince1128 · 05-08-2008, 04:29 PM

theyve been on for about 1000 miles and ive just been lazy and dont feel like spendin 100 bucks for a good alignment. i figure im this far in money wise, why not finish it off properly but do you think since i put the kit on it help my camber at all? i havent noticed tire wear yet but i just really dont feel like getting an alignment. how hard is it to check and change camber yourself? i have access to a shop with all the tools needed.
let me know what you think i should do. will i improve my handling if i get an alignment? im dropped on comptech springs btw

Getting you car aligned will greatly improve the responsiveness of the car as well as improve you gas mileage and your tires will wear evenly.

I highly suggest you getting it done ASAP.

you can leave it alone but you should get it done asap.

as far as doing it yourself, you can eyeball and estimate your camber, i did and with 3 threads showing, i estimated neg 1.3 camber, but things like toe and caster you will no be able to do. like the guy above me, in the long run you will be hurting yourself.
