Now my alignment question

[SXT6]

Ok, so my suspension goes in tomorrow, alignment Friday. But my question is, since the car will be sitting lower and closer to the SRT stock height than any of the settings in the alignment shop's computer, are you guys having them align to the SRT specs? Or are you having them try to bring the car back to the R/T, SXT, or whatever? Thanks for any help

by suspension do you mean just shocks and springs, or do you mean bushings also.

Your car isn't that low. There shouldn't be a problem. Maybe try a different alignment shop. They should know what they're doing.

Well i take it Friday, it's lower than an SRT for sure. And by suspension (for me) I mean springs and shocks

Then stick with the standard specs for the car, you will likely have your camber out of specs but with out other parts you can't help that.

be sure to check your Radius Rod Bushings also when it's up on the alignment rack, all you need to do is turn the wheel left to right while up on the lift (drive on lift) and not on the turn plates so you are simulating actual forces. (click on the bottom pic in my signature for a short video)

Cool man, I appreciate it a lot. I was just going to get it aligned first, before I look at adjustable camber parts. Thanks for the look out on the bushing!

AKA Tension struts right?

[Rob@WretchedMS]

yup, sorry habits...

Are these new springs and shocks? If so, I'd wait a week or two to let the combo settle in before getting an alignment.

[SXT6]

Yeah they are, is that what I should do? I just figured the sooner the better but that makes sense
