Alignment after Lowering the C

guys.

I tried searching, but I use Tapatalk. For whatever reason, it doesn't like to allow me to search. I say this to apologize in advance if this has been covered.

For those of you that have lowered your C, did you have difficulty getting it into decent alignment? Do I need to purchase a camber kit? I'm on Tanabe DF210s, which are no lower than 1.8", I believe! I'm making an appt. for this Thursday to get the alignment done. I had springs installed this past Friday but wanted to wait a few for them to settle. (I put about 800 miles a week on the car.)

Basically, I'm just looking to know whether the shop should be able to get the car within spec. without the addition of a camber kit or anything else that might be required for the alignment.

Rota Grids




Never updated this. Guy at shop said he was able to get everything within spec. I've put probably 10,000 miles on since install and don't see any uneven wear on tires.

I'm really happy with these springs. I'd love to be lower and do coilovers, but I commute over 100 miles a day and can't be bothered with all of the headaches that come with being too low. Been there, done that. I'm supposed to be keeping this car practical.

Anyway, I am using the stock shocks and really have no complaints with the DF210s.

Thanks for the compliment. The Grids are 15 x 6.5". I kept stock tires. They weigh about 15 pounds each, so I'm saving weight. I haven't noticed any change in MPG. If anything, I'd expect an improvement from the weight reduction. Either way, its negligible. I consistently average 50 mpg.

Awesome. Hope you like them!

Had a shop install them, so I'm not sure whether they modified the bump stops.

I hardly have passengers. I did have 3 of us in the back on one occasion, and there weren't any problems. You should be good.

Yes. And go for it... I love my Rotas. They look great, are light, and are very strong. I have hit a bunch of damn potholes, and they're still true.

I think the ride is pretty smooth.
