Help with alignment?

MustangV6Man? · June 9th, 2010, 02:39 AM

Ok so I have lowering springs about a 2" drop on the front. There used to be some on the rear but they were removed. So original springs in back, lowering in front. Need to get the car aligned now after putting a new rack on. Will there be any problems? I have read about some places not aligning if you have a car lowered.

You're putting caster/camber plates on with that much of a drop, right? Call around and make sure any place you want to take it works with caster/camber plates.

I didn't put the springs in. The car came lowered front and back when i got it. But the back springs had to be removed due to the ebrake. Everything is as it was. Does Kost tire do this with no problems?

I have no idea as there is no Kost Tires where I live. With a 2" drop, you'll need CC plates for them to do a proper alignment. 2" is a big drop, without CC plates they can only do their best and your alignment is probably still going to be off.

Well I believe it's 2" but im not positive. And it's only the front...are you positive I'd need the Castor Chamber stuff?

100% positive. The CC plates only go on the front. They'll replace the current bracket holding the struts in place. If you buy 4-bolt CC's then you'll have to drill another hole in the strut tower for the 4th bolt. Or you can go with 3-bolt CC's which won't require drilling. I'm sure 4-bolt are a little stronger though (and more commonly used).
