Quick question...

I have a set of SRT takeoff wheels and tires and recently purchased shocks and springs from an SRT as well for my Mag RT. Once I put shocks and springs on I am going to need an alignment. Should the specs for the alignment be for the RT or the SRT?

The shocks and springs were sourced from someone with a MSRT. Any help would be appreciated.

I would recommend the alignment, as you are changing the geometry of the suspension with the shocks and springs.

I had the MSRT s&s done on my Magnum R/T and it was found that the front had a negative camber on one wheeel and a positive one on the opposite front wheel. These probably existed since it rolled off the factory line.

True, our LX's are not perfectly aligned out of the factory.

I would suggest finding an alignment shop that is familiar with the chassis. I dont know if it is important to have the alignment spec. Their systems will determine if your LX is going straight or not.

I took my car to a local shop that has modified and aligned LX's. They acknoledged that the sub-frames also need to be adjusted to get within or close to spec. They had to adjust more then the suspension on my car due to the ride height. Since you have an OE setup, I dont think you will have any real issues.
