Coilovers adjustment question

I recently got an alignment but the height of my car is all f*&Ked up. one corner is lower then the other three.

I was wondering if I adjust the height of my tein flex will that mess up the alignment too?

Yes, any time you adjust the car's height you will affect the alignment. That's why you should make sure your car's height is the way you want it BEFORE you get an alignment.

Find a shop that will corner ballance your car. They should adjust the height so it is even, and it will help you take full advantage of your coilovers.

I have adjusted my Tein SS a couple of times now... I even used calipers to check the height on each corner... keep in mind you also have to wait a bit for the pre-load to take effect.. my car adjusted all over in the first week. I would reccomend going to Firestone and paying the 160 for the lifetime alignment.. everytime I adjust the coils.. I just take it there... and FREEBEE!
