At Steeda, we do the alignment after a quick road test to settle the springs.

Make sure you torque all control arms and suspension components at curb or ride height.

When I had my springs installed, the shop installed in the morning, quick drive to ensure all was good and aligned in the afternoon.....:thumbsup:

I want to do the springs, shocks and struts on mine myself. Do I need to loosen the control arm bushing a little before I lower the car and re-torque them after the car is down?
