As long as you dont drive over 300-400 miles w/out the camber kit on you wont get uneven wear on your tires. I put my coilovers on myself, then drove around to 6 different alignment shops looking for one with a lift low enough so that my car could get on it w/out scraping[:@]... Go ahead and put on the coilovers and get them adjusted to the right height, then have your camber kit installed and alignment done.

I changed my mind, go ahead and haveyour shopdo the install and alignment all at once. Then go back after a week or so and have the ride hight checked out to see if your settled. If you were doing the install yourself, I would do it the way I had mentioned the first time. Hope they don't want too much for all that install, of course after you get the quote you might change your mind and want to do it yourself.

Yeah, I plan on taking some this weekend when I put the camber kits on, of course that depends if mine show up on time. I will say this, it ain't much to look at. The hood is primered. The grill is gone. The rest of the Heather Mist paint is oxidized. And it hasn't been washed in months. Runs like a champ though!!

The springs wil settle a half inch over the first month. As mentioned, this shouldn't affect the alignment enough to care, but you need it done before they settle. If you are very concerned, get a Firestone lifetime alignment plan and have the car re-aligned after 2 or 3 months.

then set it up for a 1.5 inch drop. after the first month, you can adjust it however you'd like. I'd actually give it 3 months to be sure it's not going to change.

It shouldnt settle .5 inches... Of course when you let it off the jacks/lift its not gonna be settled. Just drive it around for a couple of days and it will be almost all the way settled.... Mine were

the guy at the shop said that i might as well get everything installed at the same time so he doesnt have to charge me so much, so im gonna wait a week to get it all installed.
