Hello guys, you have all been really helpful in getting my POS running how it should, and now I have a new question.

Last summer, I got a really good deal on some drag springs/KYB adjustables, but I only got around to installing the back springs/shocks.

Somewhat unrelated, I also need an alignment.

So my question is, does it matter which order I do everything in? Or should I do the spring/shock swap FIRST, and then the alignment second?

I really don't have any clue, and my best educated guess would be that it doesn't matter, but, that's why I'm asking here

Thanks!

Usually suspension components first then alignment but also you could do alignment to make sure everything is ok then do the parts but do alignment again. <edit> you running drag springs ? that's not a daily driver correct ? and I need a bumper ornament like in your avatar

More of a weekend warrior I would say.

I know they are going to be bouncy, but is that not a good idea?


EDIT: It's these

I dont know if these are considered "drag springs", because real drag cars probably spend a little more money on their suspension than I do... but still.

I always install on my suspension crap. Then take it to a alignment place to set it all up for the new stuff.


Just swap all the components you want @ one time, so you will not have to get it realigned again and again.

Yeah, definitely did shock install before my alignment....

Not quite sure what I was thinking before haha.

Also, the car rides perfectly fine with the eibach drag springs and KYB adjustables.
