just curious..did you let your springs settle before you got the alignment?

 

yeah, was it a 1.5F/1.2R drop right after it was installed? Or did the H&R Sports actually need time to settle?

 

I had them on for almost two weeks before I got the alignment. I probably drove about 400 miles. I did notcie after the drop the cars wheels would screatch like crazy trying to take a turn at moderate speeds and it did tend to swerve at highway speeds.

My Illuminas are set at 3 FR/4 R.
At 2 FR/ 3 R the ride felt a little mushy on the turns.

LX4CYL: Yes roughly around 1.5F/1.2R. The car still looks the same as the day I put them on. My car is totally even all the way around with a 3 finger gap.

Both pictures were taken on my driveway. Just one at night and the other during the day.

before 5 and a pinky finger gap



after 3 finger gap



I measured the gaps specifically with tape measure before and after, but I can't find that paper.

 

do you have directional tires? if you do, the -1.2 might get to you over the life of the tire. If you don't, rotating criss cross you should be fine. Your front camber is fairly good. Thou I don't understand why he aligned the right toe to 0.03 inches when the left is 0.01 inches.

if you want to be anal, you can use bolts and washers for the rear... even #'s on both sides since the camber is equal, but you would need another alignment after that.

I think it is very wise to invest in a lifetime alignment if you lower your car, but you already paid for a reg alignment. =\

mine was $130 i think? and I've used it numerous times now, like half a dozen:

Lowered
Fixed and lowered correctly (forgot brake line brakets)
Washers + bolts in the rear
Adjusted more washers in rear
and about to have it realigned because I replaced both tie rods up front (one was bad).

definately worth it for me.

 

Car looks great, those 03 wheels look pretty good on the 6th gens.

 

you do realize that on a directional tire, you can still rotate front<->back?

 

yea, but one given side of the tire will still wear moreso than the others I have about -1 degree of camber at every corner and my directional tires definately have more inner tire wear over the last 2/3 of the tire life. So my centers are now on their last lines while the insides are almost flat, not the best way to have tires. =\

 

hmm, in our case, we won't have -1 degrees of camber in the front...
