Skip alignment after only a 1.5" drop?
hey Yarisworld, i installed lower springs that gave me a 1.5" drop. However it seems that almost 2 weeks later my alignment still seems unchanged. my steerring wheel doesnt shake or lean nor do i have uneven tire wear. You think someone like me with a tight budget until a few months can skip the alignment and get one if there are ever any signs of need for alignment? y does a new ride height need an alignment anyway? thanks, no bs responses :p

You will be fine without the alignment for now.

I waited probally 6 months after i lowered mine 1.5 but was very surprised when i did get a alignment how much it was off and that there was a noticeable increase in handling once i got the alignment done that made me wish i had got it done sooner.

Your camber may be okay (within spec) however your toe will be off after dropping. Eventual tire ruining wear is imminent. Save money. Align now.
