hope so too! otherwise, it's gonna cost you alot more to get new tires vs. getting it aligned in the first place.

either way, love the new look....much better!

I haven't done an alignment yet, is it extremely important to get one? for me the ride quality feels great..cant really tell a difference, cept i feel more comfortable taking harder corners
Alignment is a must... your toe and camber are off and will eat up the tread on your tires pretty quick.. Before you do it see if they can lower the back about 1/2" more, and maybe 1/4" in the front. That would look bad ASS!! It looks good now, but would look more slammed if it was a little lower! IMHO.

Get the alignment, but only after a few hundred miles. You're going to save a lot of money in the long run.

thank you both for your input. makes no sense to me that someone would spend their hard earned $$ on our cars for mods, but yet will "pass" on a $150 alignment as a preventative measure?!

i for one, as most of us on here, take great pride in our ride...so why not take the proper steps to insure it's running at it's best.

my .2 cents, but again.....keep the change.
