just the box of items sold as is.. if u want to install them urself, get a spring compressor.. if u dont have one, u can rent them at most auto supply places.. i have the tein basics on mine & i love it.. make sure u torque it though.. i let my ex install mine.. had to have it torqed 6 months later cuz he apparently didnt do it.. if i had hit something just right, id have no more car.. lol

the shop that installs should be able to set up the alignment decently enough for you to drive on. drive around for a couple weeks to let the springs settle, then get an alignment done...

i got mine aligned 3-4 days after i put the coilovers on. when you drive after you put them on, drive with your hands off the wheel. If the car steers one way really fast and sharp, get aligned ASAP! After i put mine on, i took my hands off the wheel and it slowly veered to the right. So I knew I didn't need an alignment ASAP, but still was needed.

the place i go to advertises that it aligns vehicles that have been dropped. so all of that is included. |
