btw, just get an alignment and you should be straight.


thanks.

i took it back today for an alignment. they fixed the toe but said i need a camber kit to fix that issue. So ill be getting one and having them put it on for me.

after aligment, the steering wheel is not centered. its turned counterclockwise just a bit. very weird. Hopefully once they put the camber kit on and realign it will be ok.

i gotta get pics. this things a head turner now, i love it.

ya think?

they did the alignment for free and said everything was ok but the camber. still, y is the steering wheel not straight and y does it still pull a little? I always have these BS issues.

Im gonna spent the $70 and get it aligned at a speed shop in my town.

thanks for the advice.

I don't know what methods my shop used.. but when I was dropped(which was pretty damn low btw), they were able to get it aligned flawlessly w/ no issues. Steering wheel would never veer to any particular side, and I never had tire wear problems. Another plus about this place is that they offered lifetime alignment for i believe $150, which was a steal. I'd end up going every 5k to get my car aligned.

I am in the same region, and that's the same neighbor hood I paid in. Doing a drop must be a more common job for shops out west.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
