Hello

I just ordered the H&R sport lowering springs. After doing additional I'm getting mix feelings on what really is needed to make the alignment work. Some say that rear toe bolts and rear toe arm is needed. Some say that nothing is needed to make it work and others said that a camber kit is needed. So what is really needed to make this work?

 

I have H&R springs, installed them a month ago.

When I went to get an alignment at my friends shop he told me that the front left needed a camber kit, so he installed it and aligned it. Also, as a heads up, the alignment will most likely cost more due to the fact that they have to reset the steering angle sensor.

It drives great.

At first I regretted my decision because of the harsh ride, but you get used to it. You have to also change the way you drive completely. You will learn to avoid potholes and rough road without even thinking about it. You will also learn that you will have to hit speed bumps, and inclines sideways or you will scrape. You will also learn that you can no longer take your car to most car washes because your car is now too low and wont clear to bottom of the automatic rollers.

There are definitely disadvantages of a lowered car, but it will look great and handle better. You WILL get used to it.

 

Oh boy I guess that's the trade off than. So I would need some sort of kit then. Darn.

 

As far as needing camber kits, or anything in the rear. I'm sure all cars are slightly different.

 

i wouldn't worry much about a camber kit -1 degree camber or so for our cars is good anyways!

 

No camber kit for me, I'm on H&R's as well as wide wheels 18x9.5 and 265 35 tires.

 

Any issues with the rear toe?

 

I am quite sure you do not need anything on the rear. You probably don't even need anything on the front since H&R doesn't drop that much. If anything you probably want to run RCK for the front. Like this one:

You will just have to find a good alignment shop that works on lowered car.

 

Nope, alignment is perfect. Fit is flush and all

 

I took my evo to the dealer and they said they couldn't do the alignment on it since it's low and they wouldn't be able to get it onto their alignment rack. Did any of you ran into this issue?

 

Just find another alignment shop, I never used the dealer for an alignment.

 

Most decent alignment shops have ramps to help get the car on the rack, or the really nice ones have the alignment rack that's level with the ground
