Coilover question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Question I have is, I install coilovers and I assume I will need an alignment. I get said alignemt for a 1" drop. I then decide to drop 1.5", would I need another aligment? If I go to 2.0", another alignment? If I go back up to 1.0" another?

Cheers

Simply... yes, if you want to maintain the EXACT alignment specs after each drop.

Thanks RW. Throws a kink into my thought process.

As stated, yes you will to keep the exact settings.

But the changes will be minor from a 1" to 1.5" drop. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That is correct. You should have an alignment done to keep the specs right and prevent premature tire wear and optimum performance and handling.
