car pulling to the right after lowering
So I really did not marked the camber bolts or anything.. I installed everything. I am using BMR 1.2" springs. Took the car for a right and its pulling bad to the right. My steering wheel turns to the right as well. And I have to correct to the left to keep the car straight.. did I do something wrong? I redo the left side trying to set spindle bolts to the marks from stock.. have not driven yet. Will have the car aligned Thursday.. will the alignment fixed my problems.. I had perfect alignment prior to springs.

You need an alignment. Just didn't set the strut back where it needs to be. That gets sorted during the alignment...

Yep. Always do an alignment when you lower.

So alignment is done. car feels better but idk for sure yet cuz it was reaining so hard that I figured any impression could not be the best of it since the road and tires were all wet and slippery. So what does the alignment specs mean? im suspension retarded

They done a good job. The main reason why it was pulling before is because the left front tire was -.85* camber and the right front had +.19* This is were both tires were leaning towards the right and can cause it to drift to the right going down the road.

Yup. Looks like you got your money's worth out of that alignment. Should handle great now!

When installed my coil-overs(40mm drop), I flat bedded the car to the alignment shop because I knew the alignment would be way off(big time tire wear when driven). A non factory AKA sport alignment will wake up the car!

Thanks guys. I am glad I waited for this guy to do my alignment. He said he's worked on corvettes and hot rods. He was pretty cool too. I think the car feels better and handles better there is some pull to either side if I let go off the steering wheel for a while but I think that's cus of the roads and imperfections. Otherwise I think its great.

So after driving a little I think my car still needs alignment. Idk if its me that nmore aware of the road and steering or the alignment is off or the result of lowering the car that makes the car feel the road more.. It is like I have to make smaller adjustment on the steering wheel to keep the car straight at moments. But it doesn't pull badly. It is like if the road makes the car go and because of the springs

Is it pulling to one side still? I just got mine lowered and aligned and it doesn't pull but my steering wheel is very slightly off position when I'm going straight and it's making me nuts.
