hey...got my 350z lowered with tanabe gf210...

have a question about alignment...

im gonna get a very quality alignment...best place in town to make sure it is right the first time...my question is that if i actually do get a quality alignment, does the suspension generally get all messed up again down the road? (camber problems etc)...or does a quality alignment generally fix the problem for good?

thanks for the help


also...is it a good idea to wait a few days after spring install to get an alignment or is it ok just to do it right after? thanks

 

For the past 30 years I have gotten alignments every 6 months to compensate for the progressive wear of suspension isolation rubber bushings.

Each and every time the starting numbers are not PERFECT at the exact midpoint of the range!

Eventually every 30 or 60K some component or groups of components must be replaced to return to PERFECTION.

All depends on your standards.

Every method of lowering via springs usually requires a redesign of the suspension to return to PERFECT camber. Most oem designs do not have enough adjustment range to allow lowering while maintaining PERFECT camber.

Tires are designed to function ideally with no more than negative 0.75 degreees of STATIC Camber driving straight.

Alignment should be called MISALIGNMENT because the oem developed these numbers to correct for bushing deflection at 55 mph going straight under the thrust load..........they actually measure REAL ALIGNMENT at 55 mph and reverse calculate sitting still numbers that will fix the deflections........especially toe and caster.

Important to have your or your weight equivalent in drivers seat when getting a Precision Misalignment.

 

thanks for the info
