Do you need to get an alignment with the BMR762 kit. Looking reducing my wheel hop. But don't really want to get an alignment yet.

has the car ever been aligned? Once you free up the IRS nothing is given. Why would you not do an alignment to validate what your settings are? The factory is not known for due care and their tolerances are huge to boot.

Sometimes the factory doesn't even get a car aligned to within those huge tolerances. That's not an opinion.

If the subframe is coming down it’s always a good idea to have it aligned. Find a reputable shop that knows what they’re doing and have it set. I plan on going for 0 camber in the rear when I install my cb005. You can see how much the factory lays the rear tires in. I don’t plan on tracking it but want as much tire contact as I can get on the street and hopefully get the most out of the Michelin’s

Be careful. Be very careful.

The factory prefers at least -1.19° rear camber and specifies rear camber to be no less negative than -0.44° for a reason (it's important for directional stability reasons even in street driving). Going all the way to zero at least opens up the possibility of compromising AdvanceTrac's stability control capabilities.

Ok, I'll install all the suspension components at one time then get an alignment.
