Sup guys, i just recieved my hotchkis springs today, and going to put it on in about 4-5 days, i want to know after i install the springs, do i align the car to a new spec since the car is sitting lower then stock, or do i align them to factory spec. And also, is the stock from camber adjustable, or do i need somekind of camber adjustment plate. Any help will be appreciated, thanx alot

 

yes I wont to know that too I have Teins-S

 

Like anything, alignment has options. You have stock and modified and of course modified offers many option.

I prefer modified as follows:
FRONT
camber
R,L- -1.4 deg
toe
R,L- 0 mm

REAR
camber
R,L- -.9 deg
toe
R,L .01 mm

 

set it up like in grand turismo 3 hehe

my 7 has 3in camber in front and 2in in back and crank up the springrate lol i will challange anyone against my car anytime anywhere evo vs evo lol

 

if i were want to align the car to factory spec, do i need a camber plate?

 

i just got my hotchkis springs today getting them put on tomorrow from what i understand all you need is to get the car aligned you dont need any alignment kits or anything

 

alright man, thanx for the info, let me know if u encounter any problem while getting the car aligned after the spring is installed, thanx

 

After calling Hotchkis they told me stock alignment settings should work the best.

 

That's good to know stock alignment specs will work. Thanks for doing the dirty work Joe!

 

Well every car is different. It will depend on what the alignment shop says and of course whatever I end up with I don't want it to wear my tires unevenly. I don't make enough money yet to be buying three sets of tires per year.

 

will the hotchiks springs blow out the oem shocks ?

 

from what ive been hearing NO, it really depends on the install, and the way you drive. the more aggressivly you drive the faster the wear!

 

They aren't going to recommend outside of factory spec due to liability reasons. They don't want people coming to them because of tire wear or because they spin out or whatever. "Hey, we told him to set it like stock!" What can you do?
