Alignment after drop...is it better to wait about a week and let springs settle before getting an alignment?

gonna do springs and rear camber install at same time.

Does anybody know what would be the best setting for the camber after the drop and the alligment?

+/- What?

I would like my setting for thread life on the tires. I drive 110 miles comunting everyday, and right now my tires are paying back for it. The car already has a 1.5 inch drop by Tein S springs. I will appreciate the suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

good thread - I'm going to get the camber kit when I get the HFP suspension. I heard oem specs are F:0*, R:-2*; zero toe all around. I'm going to try to get it F:-1.75*, :-1.25*; zero toe all around. I just hope I don't have any rubbing issues with the 245 wide Potenzas

also since it was lifted for about an hour my front springs still havent settled back down to what they normally sit at, but the back is all ready lower. so i think it may have lowered me in the rear a little bit. is that possible? the hole car was jack up so i cant understand. hopefully by morning the front will have settled down and ill compare it to the back again

mmm its going to be hard for u to set the camber arm at the right number without taking it to a professional... u can try but u wont know ho much negative camber u will have till u take it to a shop... plus when u intalled spring u need an alingment no matter what...

its very recommended... just installed the camber arm... and then save up for the alignment...

I just got the Skunk2 camber arms. I also purchased SPC front camber bolts.
I'm going to be installing springs (Sportlines) at the same time.

I was skimming through this thread and read that the front camber bolts aren't necessary. Why is that?
