Alignment after Suspension added Hey guys, I have tried to search but really have come up blank. Just looking to fix this issue before I really tear up these tires. My recently received the BMR treatment. What I got was BMR springs, Bilstein Shocks, BMR Lower control Arms, BMR ReloBrackets, BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar, BMR Torque Arm, and BMR Front Sway bar.
Now my rear end is to the drivers side a little, bit and while the cars passenger side is under load, I hear something rubbing in the rear. Ive read you just adjust the panhard bar, but which way do I do it. Im sure you do it when the car is in the air but is it adjust it, set the car down and let it settle then fine tune it? Also are tie rod ends that big of a deal? How hard are they to put on? And my final question when putting this car on the alignment machine do I set it to stock settings?
Thanks
Chris

You really want to adjust the panhard with the weight of the car loading the suspension. That way you don't have to lower and raise the car a bunch of times. The front tie rod ends are easy to install but you are going to want to have the alignment checked afterwards so I would just have the rear end centered up when they do the alignment. If you are driving the car everyday I would just stick to the stock alignment specs which will keep tire life to a maximum.

Yeah stock alignment specs can most definitely be achieved when using our BMR lowering springs.

yeah if you have the "on car adjustable" phb, i would jack it up and put all four wheels on ramps. that way you can get under the car and adjust with plenty of room, and the suspension will still be loaded.
oh and let us know if the rub noise goes away after you adjust the phb. i hope/think its just your tire against the fender. (roll them anyway!)
sounds like you've got a nice setup! post some pics when you get it sorted!
