Alignment??

I just installed some eibachs and I need to get an alignment now. I'm don't know if the camber is off or if I need to get camber bolts? They dropped 1.4 front, and 1.2 rear. What do you think? Aslo, suggestions on good places to get an alignment for a good price? Thanks!

The problem is that the passenger side seems not as low as the driver side, maybe 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch, I don't know. Also, the tire is two fingers from the mudflap on the driverside but on the passengerside the tire is 3 fingers from the mudflap. Not sure how to adjust it or if they will do it when I get it aligned?

Wait a little bit so that the springs can settle and then go in for an alignment. Dunno about any good places in the valley but any place should be able to get you adjusted correctly. You shouldn't need camber bolts unless you want lots of camber. The biggest adjustment is going to be the toe since that is going to be off the charts and will just eat away your tires.

I need to find a shop that can let my car on an alignment rack since I'm lowered.

Like Jourdan said, you should probably let the springs settle first. I don't know where you should go in the Stockton area for an alignment.

Thanks. I will probably throw my stocks on and drive maybe 100 miles and then get alignment.

I'd go around some shops near where you're always at and take a look. Main reason being to check the incline of their alignment rack. you may want to take off your front bumper or bring some wood so you can get your car up on a rack.

Yeah man let the springs settle. Drive more than 100 miles take some corners pretty good yada yada. Don't worry about your car not being able to get on a rack I got on one just fine.

Stock what? Springs?

You should have no problem getting on the rack. You're not that low.

I really really hope he's are not talking about your stock springs. And as gut wrenching it may be to hear, indeed you are not that low. Good luck OP shoot me a text if you have any questions.

not sure if you want to make the drive but my friends over at THE SHOP do great alignments , they also do corner balancing if you feel the need to do some heavy racing

no no no. Not my stock springs. My stock wheels so I don't eat my tires with this bad alignment. I'll just drive a little bit and then see how it is. I'll still get an alignment after a while just to make sure.
