I was hoping some ppl on here had the s techs installed so they can let me know what I need to do.. ill post pics ASAP

    i got my S-techs installed about a month ago and got an alingment right after. i spoke to John from Speedcorps and he said the drop isnt as extreme so we dont need a camber kit. as for the tire wear i dont know. as of right now my tires are fine but i dont really have an answer for you. post pics soon!

    clap clap clap

    its about time u got those on steve
    get an allignment after a couple of days.
    you don't need a camber...but if u see uneven tire wear....go pick some uip....there not that much money...around 80 bucks especially wen tires are mad money

    if its not a serious drop then you really dont need one

    when i installed my springs it was bad so i didnt really need an alignment

    but usally when you do a drop its always good to get one just to be on the safe side

    Very nice, i think so far this is the drop that i love the most, only thing we need to know is, how do these ride? handling?

    If you do not get a proper alignment, your tires will wear out quicker. camber kits are needed for extreme drops, usually anything from 2"

    I always thought the rule of thumb was to give the springs at least a week, maybe two in order to let them settle and have the car aligned again. And I always did camber kits, tires arent cheap.
