I am going to put my lowering springs in myself. Will it throw my front end out of alignment? If so, will I at least be able to drive it to an alignment shop or will it be to far out of alignment?

Lowering springs will make your alignment have SLIGHTLY more NEGATIVE camber ... usually a GOOD thing if you are running stock alignment specs.

It will NOT change the alignment enough to make it dangerous or destructive to drive to the shop.

I would have it aligned. Lowering the car will also change the toe of the wheels (it will move it out). This will cause the inside ring of tread to wear out fairly quickly.

Just go have it aligned and stand there while they do it. Ask them to set it at maximum negative camber, maximum positive caster, and zero toe. Your car will turn on rails <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> That is how I have mine set up with the Eibach Pro Kit, couldn't be happier.

Do your tires wear correctly? TIA

Hey 11 Bravo I think I sold you the springs. Granatelli's right? You will definately need an alignment. Like Lanky said, the inside edge of the tires will get eaten away. I made that mistake of going too long without an alignment <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0">
