DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY THE AMOUNT OF QUESTIONS

1: I got the car aligned at "Tires Plus" after the coilover install/camber kit install..........problem is they had trouble just getting the car on there ramp. It barely made it up

2: I want to lower it more but am afraid that if I lower it more, it wont be able to make it on there lift for an alignment

3: Before even putting them on the car, the rings on the coils felt very hard to move, is that normal?

4:How low do you think I can go, before rubbing?

They are BC Racing coils btw

Sorry if I can't answer all your question but this is what I do. I do have lifetime alignment warranty with Firestone. The only way they can do it if I remove my front bumper. To me it is no problem. I hope that would help you. I have done about 8~10 alignments already this year

Decent tire shops have snapped & have on hand 2 x 4's to place in front of the ramps to the alignment rack. Thought this was common sense. Guess the only way you can find out how low you can go without rubbing is to keep making small adjustments till you notice the car scraping on everything, then begin to raise the car up at leaset a couple of adjustments. With your car being slaMMed you will to take everything at a angle or 1 wheel at a time & slow down so you don't trash your exhaust and underside. Congrats on the new coilovers, ride will be almost too stiff but the ride & handling are well worth the $$$$.

 

should the ring be hard to move

 

A rubber mallet, plus those coilover wrenches and some patience should do the trick. You would have a real problem if the rings were too easy to move.

 

Considering it has a lot of spring tension on it, i will say YES.
