GT PP w/ eibach sportlines... No alignment needed?

[dannycoconuts]

I put on the sportlines about a month ago and let her settle in and took it to a well known alignment shop that our car club uses and they looked at her and said nothing was off and that I didn't need an alignment. Said to come back after a few thousand miles and recheck but everything looked good. Happen to anyone else?

Go to a real alignment shop.

This is the top alignment shop in the city and it's an eibach authorized dealer.

Post up the print out of your alignment specs.

Some people say they only needed to align the front. I just got my eibachs yesterday and will hopefully get them installed next week.

When you lower the suspension the front tires will toe-out and excessively wear the inner tread. Definitely get the alignment corrected and post the printout.

I lowered mine on Pro-kit springs, and it ended up on the very limit of the GTPP alignment recommendations. No way in hell are Sportlines within OEM limits. Your toe will be off and camber too negative. The toe will cause squirrelly handling and excessive tire wear.

Installed Pro kit 4days ago...rear tires look like they need help but front looks good. Anyone else that needed a rear alignment??

just got the call from the dealer front & rear out .....ALOT....they are saying they need to loosen top nut on front strut and oval the top hole to help with front to pitch spindle out smh

That is one way to do it but not the Ford approved way. There are "crash" bolts you order on the strut that allow for camber adjustment.

this is the dealer...see how it all works out with the specs when they are finished

Rear wheels cambered in bad....but they are saying numbers are in spec. Taking car back Monday

Anyone else having this problem with Pro kit?

I've had the sportlines for a while and still haven't got an alignment cause I can't find a rack it can drive on. Haha. But I have been keeping a close eye on my tires, the contact patch is still a very healthy amount of the tires' surface. I will definitely have one done before my new wheels n tires come, though.

I just had mine aligned yesterday with no issues, I have the pro kit

You definitely need to take it to another shop. Like others have said, i have the Eibach Pro kit and it was waayyy out and needed alignment; Hell, i could look at it and see it needed an alignment. A friend of mine owns the shop and had to add camber bolts up front and spent half a morning on the phone with Eibach figuring out the rear.
