Hey guys kinda dumb question but....

I decided to put my new springs on myself, and was only able to put 3 on 1 day... I waited like 4 days and finally put the last one on... How long should I wait to get an allignment? As of right now it seems that the last spring I changed sits lower than the other front one.. Will an allignment fix this, or will I have to redo my camber configuration?
Thanks for any input fellow Atlantans'


EDIT - The springs are only a 1 inch drop so its nothing drastic

If they are brand new springs, wait a couple months or a few thousand miles -> during that time frame, the most significant settling will occur. An alignment will not correct differing heights between corners. Double check to see if you reinstalled everything correctly.

yah theyre not brand new, i got them from a member on here. I figured as much about the different corners, but can't really figure out what I could have done wrong... HMM might have to disassemble and check it out.

The spring might be oriented wrong in the seat of the struts.

And it's not uncommon to have slight variances between corners, when simply dropping in lower springs. I would give it a week, or 500 mile and then get in for alignment.

If anybody interested, I'll be leaving the atlanta area for zdayz on the Thursday morning. Probably head out around 8 and drive straight to the airstrip event.

Alex, what up bro.

We should be closing on our house on the 30th of this month, then I have a convention to go to the first week of June. When I get back, I will put something together. I have done some scouting and have found a few spots that would be great(meaning they have grills and alot of parking and a good area for FB UF or whatever). I will ask that some help get the word out and it will be a bring your own, unless we can come up with a way to collect money and I can bring everything. I am ready to get this up and going, as I feel that I have been out of the loop for a minute.
