Alignment after installing new springs?

All, Going to drop the car morning. Do I need to get this on an alignment rack afterwards? Eibach Pros

Yes, but I would wait a bit for the springs to settle.

Yes. Once you drop you will have more static negative camber than you want, and you need to check toe and castor as well. Toe will probably be off a bit.

Don't forget you need to do the same in the rear with IRS!

Thank you. Lowered it today, let it sit a week, then alignment on Saturday(front and rear).

Keep us posted. Would like to see some good pics when you get a chance.

How much will these lower your car once they settle?

Pics please

Was install pretty straight forward?

I would go out and drive the thing. If you want the springs to settle you need to do more than let the weight of the car set on them. You can compress a spring nearly indefinitely without a change in spring material properties but cycle that spring (up and down) a bunch and you'll see it "settle". 15 miles or so wont kill a set of tires even if the alignment is REALLY out. A buddy of mine ran a full degree of toe out for almost 300 miles and didn't quite cord the R-Comps he was running on. That was unintentional but it did happen.

I will post pictures and the drop numbers tonight.

Just got a call from my local Ford Dealer that they can't align my car because it has been "modified" I am really beginning to hate Ford. Dumb Bastards.

I forgot to say that it was not the dealer who sold me my car.

Anyone know the stock specs to give to an alignment guy?

Never expect a dealer to touch anything that your car was not born with, or that does not say Ford Racing on it. They are funny that way. You just need a third party alignment shop, and the specs, which they probably won't have yet. I'd ask Steeda for the specs if it's their springs.

I found a performance shop that will align the car. Old 5 oh, The springs are the Eibach pro kit. The shop said they could dial it in without numbers, but if you can find them would be awesome. The shop is 17 miles away so I think I will be good getting it there and also to settle the car down. Mellow Yellow. It was very easy to install the springs. CJ pony parts has a great thirteen minute video to watch on their site.

Industry leech, before the install the front was 29.5". After the install is was 27.5". The rear was 28.5" and after the springs it is 28". I like the look. It might settle a little more.

Here are some picts. Sorry for the pole in the way. The hood is opened a bit, no fitment issues.

Man, perfect drop IMO. The front end sits to high for the PP cars in stock form. Looks like you may have a bit of a rake maybe. perfect!

Yeah, it would be good to have the stock specs... hopefully we will get someone to post them for ya.
