Lowering spring question??

Hey my cars getting the alignment done this week. I was originally going to wait to put my swift springs on until after the alignment. Is this a bad idea? Should i have them on first then do the alignment? thanks

Getting them install before an alignment will be cost effective.

And after the spring install you are supposed to get an allignment. So do the springs first.

Yeah do the springs first and do it yourself to save some money. It is pretty easy.

Install your spring before the alignment. I do alignment every time after suspension work is done.

alignment is crucial after anything that affects riding stance and height. (tie rods, bushing, camber kits, springs etc.) so if your doing springs do the alignment AFTER. the only things you dont really need to do alignment after is something like sway bar instalation. alignments arent cheap so make sure whatever your doing before alignment is something that really needs to be aligned! in this case yes, springs first, then alignment as it will be necassary just my 0.02$
