WOW What a difference an alignment makes!!

So being a lazy cheap bum after i lowerd my car i never botherd to get an alignment done. That was 15k miles ago. From what i read on the forums i self justified the alignment would be off so slightly it would be no big deal.

I just recently put on some new tires and wanted to get my alignment checkd this time. Local shop hooked me up for only 40 dollars for the alignment so i couldnt pass it up.

I can say it makes a massive difference It was toe in enough that it needed an alignment. He dailed in just a slight slight bit of toe out. But on the corners the car handles so much differently.

It feels equivalent to what i felt when i did any suspention mod such as rear hub spacers or trd bar.


So anyone else who was like me and never bothered to get an alignment after lowering i would highly reccomend it.

Alignments can make a huge difference on even stock cars. I just finally installed my wheels, and had them do an alignment on my otherwise stock car. The handling is quite a bit better. After 45000 miles, cars just do some weird stuff.
