Question Eibach Pro kit installed....Alignment??

Eibach Pro kit installed....Alignment?? I got my springs on, the car tracks straight and if I look at it from ground level it looks fine. Should I have it aligned?? How important is it. Should I wait to see if I have abnormal tire wear? Big O wants 99 dollars for alignment.

Thanks for any input
Greg

you should have it done. if you want until abnormal tire wear, then it's already too late. you should be able to find something cheaper than 99. Call around first. good luck!

Thanks for all the input, so far. Anyone have luck with alignment in the East Bay, I dont know if I have time to go out to milpitas. Alignment is much cheaper than a set of tires. You guys dont think BIG 0 will do a good job? If they align to factory specs than I would think not.

Rynick Tire and Auto said $79. My old RX-7 Mechanic said he sends his clients there. Any one have anything against them?

159.99 flat for a lifetime alignment with firestone. Think about it... you're supposed to get an alignment every 6 months. If AI is 60/alignment that's only 18 months before it pays for itself. However, if you want a more agressive alignment, I agree, Firestone is not the place to get it.

+1 for AI. I live all the way out in Antioch and I still find the drive worth it.

I would recommend having the aftermarket camber bolts installed on the front and back, and take it to Roger Kraus for an alignment.
