Do I need to get an alignment after dropping the box? I did'nt have to on my civic after using springs. Obviously I need an alignment now, but is'nt this a bad thing, or perhaps a sign that something is wrong?

 

As a rule of thumb, whenever I make any suspension changes, I always get an alignment afterwards.

I would rather pay $60 now for an alignment than $300+ for two tires a few months down the road.

 

Thanks Squirrel, much abliged! :D

 

Mike, no matter how careful I am, something always changes on the alignemnt. Wheteher its too much toe, not enuff toe, camber out of whack, or pulling to one side. I'm so **** about alignments because I do 90% of my driving on the freeway, I usually get it checked evry 5k miles or so.

 

Right on. Thanks again man. I know there are a ton of highways in Sac too, and even the main roads there are pretty much highways.

 

Wow Iv'e had mine Droped with TEIN S since April, and no Alignment , The box pulls straight as a arrow down the highway and the ride is sweet, and my Tire wear is wearing normal too! , I rotate every 5000 miles too

 

damn....your lucky...I need two new tries BAD, I'm like almost running on slicks...which grip wise is awesome...but if it starts to pour....life is gonna suck...luckily it's almost x-mas time and I get a set of wheel/tires!! So I just threw my "slicks" on the back and my not even barely worn rear tires to the front, that'll last for the next two and a half weeks, then I'm gonna get my car aligined

 

thats the worst thing you can do. you want the best tires on the rear and worst up front.

this way your back end wont slip out on you. with the tires up front being bad when you start to slip from driving too fast or bad conditions its easier to correct than when your rear swinging out.

 

mmm damn...thanks for telling me that!!!

 

ya its a common mistake, everyone thinks they should put new tires up front for grip but then the back end could swing out easier in a corner
