My installer did a full alignment after the spring install (and after driving it for about 30 mins for some initial settle). He's going to do a check and another adjustment next time I swing by (about a month of driving).

I did one right after and then 90 days after. I got the lifetime alignment with my shop.

I did that too. Thing is, the repeat alignment didn't require changing anything at all - and I didn't have a lifetime alignment deal - blew 200$...

I just had my alignment done and difference is huge. I would love to drop my car but I am scraping everywhere as it is. And having a sloped driveway doesn't help

Scoper,

Did you add a front lip? or did you just paint the bottom portion of the bumper?

Love your car in the after pictures. I have to say and don't take this personally, but those before pic wheels are the ugliest I have ever seen I think (except bright colored ones maybe). I actually didn't realize the year of the car until I saw your signature. The old wheels make the car looks old somehow.

Oh, believe me, no offense taken! First thing I wanted to do was ditch the wheels when I got the car, much to the chagrin of the wife...! Though I'd have to say the lighting in the before pic sucked... made everything look dated and faded...

Nope, just had the front ground effects painted body color. I want to get a front spoiler, but I'm already scraping when I go up driveways...

That sucks . . . A regular alignment is $70 and the lifetime is $115. If you get a new car within the year that you bought the alignment then you can swap it as well. Sweet deal thru Firestone and they use the Hunter laser alignment system.

After two years, do you still have the car and how has it affected your suspension? specially the shocks?

Still have my car. 21k miles and counting. Springs have not caused any issues with suspension. Ride height is the same. Very satisfied with going the spring route. Going to do a HPDE event this summer! I will put my "ugly wheels" back on for that though LOL.

Here's my before and after, both with 19's. Did the install myself. Car has PASM. I noticed the difference immediately after install, but my **** is used to it now that it almost feels like stock. No harshness to the ride at all.
