Installed the TEIN S TECHS (need some advice now)

First just wanted to say thanks to ALL of you, for the info and tech you guys provide.

Anyhow, I installed the Tein S. Tech yesterday, and was very happy with the drop and ride quality. At this point Im wondering if I should go ahead and re-align my car. I know how pricey the Yoko Advan tires are, and wanna maximize the life as much as possible. Thanks for any help you can provide

-Eric

whenever you change the geometry of a car...you ALWAYS want to have it realigned. Depending on how severe your car is out or in with the camber/caster/toe...it could be dangerous to drive and you will also wear the hell out of your advans.

the cost of the alignment will be far less than the cost to replace your tires in 3 months

The next stop your car should be making is for an alignment. It doesn't take long to affect the tread on your tires on a car out of alignment. Some mis-alignments cause scalloped tire wear which decreases tire performance and increases the road noise.

'grats on your S-Techs. Got any before and after pics?
