Ok i just recently put on a 2 inch lowering kit on my car and as you know you mess with the struts and etc. on the front of the car.. my friend did a 4-6 drop on his chevy and screwed his alignment all up. So anyone that has lowered their xb have you had alignment problems afterwards cause mine seems ok.. lemme know thanks

 

No problems. You do not state whether you did an alignment after the drop. You need to do so. Some say to wait a month to let the springs set. I got mine done right away and no problems after 3 years...........

 

You should let the springs settle in a bit before getting aligned.

 

when I put my springs on I didn't bother getting the box aligned. It was dropped 2" on Eibach Sportlines.

But after I put my Ksport coilovers in I had gotten it aligned because there was a lot more adjustability in the coilovers as far as how the struts mounted and it had camber adjustments as well. Plus to the fact that I had lowered it 3".

It would be worth having it aligned. I am actually considering having mine aligned again since I put an aftermarket steering wheel on and the isn't totally straight to my liking...LOL

 

Those are the lowering springs I have on my car the eibach sportlines... where can i get them aligned everywhere i go they say they dont have specs for lowered vehicles only factory?

 

First off you shouldn't need to get it aligned for only 2"s. unless you change struts. left to right or to completly different struts.

From full raise to full drop(around 5.5 inches) my toe in only changes .8 degrees
as you go down the toe goes out.

And as for the alignment shops saying they don't have specs for lowered cars. They are retarded. They type in 05 Scion xb and go frome there. They must have ancient equiptment, or just don't know how to use it.

Just my 2 cents from my experiences

 

I used ebiach pro and went to the dealer. They said the rear was toe in and shimmed them. Handles the same and looks like they used 1 shim only on each side. Guess they are made of gold since it was 80 bucks.

 

Yea exactly i was thinking the same thing cause it doesnt matter how low the vehicle is cause it still needs the same alignment?

 

I have to 2nd that the shop says they don't have the spec's. You have to understand that the bottom bolt hole on the Ksport coilovers is not just a bolt hole. it is a slot. so there is a chance of not getting them mounted in the same location, make sense?? and the fact that the top plate has the ability to move as well as far as the camber goes.

I just realized that you are over in glendale. I would recommend Bullitt Automotive in Tempe. Talk to Eddie (480) 446-0484....... No Limits Ind (BiggJ) referred me to him and the guy is great. I think he is one of the only shops that can align some of the lowest vehicles here in the Phoenix Valley. He has a custom made rack that can handle any car. he will take good care of you.

 

Well I dont have the coilovers I only have the eibach sportlines.. and thank you about how much does it cost for him to do it??

 

He charged me $80 bucks to do the alignment. Just tell him that BiggJ sent you and he should hook you up with a good price. I loved my Eibach Sportlines when I had them on they rode really nice. I just wanted to go a little lower and thats why i went with coilovers after having the sportlines.

 

Ok thanks alot man yea I love them too they ride really smooth for lowering springs but thanks again

 

Hey no problem you are welcome.....
