Does lowering 1" require an alignment
Just as it says do I need an alignment after I lower the car

I'll second that. I'm running the BMR drop springs on my v6 and went with the PFADT Street Specs.

Yes and yes. Always align after you change ride height. The Pfadt alignment specs are great.

Like everyone else said, you will definitely want to get an alignment done. We also have some alignment specs that offer some improved handling without killing the tires. We have both our street specs and pro specs. for you I would recommend going with our BMR Street performance alignment specs because they will offer improved handling and still give you very good tire wear.
STREET PERFORMANCE Front camber: -0.8min to -1.1 max Rear camber: -0.7min to -1.0max Front toe: -1/16” Rear toe: -1/16” Front caster: 7 to 8.5 (OE not adjustable) PRO PERFORMANCE Front camber: -1.3min to -1.6max Rear camber: -0.9min to -1.2max Front toe: -1/16” Rear toe: -1/16” Front caster: 7 to 8.5 (OE not adjustable) |

I've got your BMR 1.2" all round brought from ApexSpeed being fitted ATM to my 2010 V6 LLT Camaro.
Do those values apply too? Thx, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I recommend having the alignment checked/adjusted with any ride height change over 1/4"
Attached are the Pfadt Alignment specs for easy reference. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

TIME THE BUSHINGS. I installed my bmr 1 inch drop springs and I drove my front up on ramps, timed the bushings and then did the same for the rear. Search the forum and you will see detailed specs that JusticePete posted a while back for the whole process. DO It yourself to save money and also to be sure all bolts are torqued to spec with some blue loctite on there. If you dont have the tools needed, then make sure you go to a shop that has done this and uses GM specs for all the bolts. I know it is an obsessive way to do things but you want to be sure all luck is on your side when you are racing.

I am installing my BMR trailing arms and adjustable toe rods this weekend. I am ordering my BMR 1.4" lowering spring kit next week and although I know I will get a custom alignment both front and rear after I time the bushings, but is there more parts that I should I get before I go to the alignment shop? I keep reading threads about the front camber screws and rear camber bolts and toe rod adjusters. Are they really needed for a street performance setup? Since I installed the adjustable toe rods wouldn't that negate the use of the toe rod adjusters at least? My car is a 2013 SS L99 with stock pzero 20s.
