alignment

They couldn't correct your rear camber?

Well they adjusted toe more than camber cause that's what I was worried about the most. I don't mind having a little bit of camber.

What should you do first ? Put on new wheels/tires (upgrading 18" to 20") and then lowering springs? Or vice versa?

Camber more than -1.9 is to much in my opinion

Why didn't anyone go to Ford to get an alignment?

Why didn't anyone go to Ford to get an alignment?

I really wanted to but I didn't cuz:

A) Car would be low for their lifts ( happened to my friend when he took it to ford)

B) i feel like if I take it there, they will void every single warranty possible

99% of the people on here said Ford would refuse to do an alignment to a lowered car.

This seems odd to me since dealerships are independent companies. Would they not change my oil if I had a blower on?

It bugs me too when people refer to their local dealerships as Ford Motor Company. "Take it to Ford" :headbonk:

I put Steedas on mine. When I drove it a few miles to let the springs settle I noticed it was really squirrelly, like not confidence inspiring squirrelly. I took it to a local alignment specialist who works on lots of performance and race cars and man, what a difference! I don't think he worked any real magic, but it's great now.

I ended up with:

Front camber L -1.6 R-1.7
Toe L.04 R.04

Rear camber L -1.8 R -1.9
Toe L.05 R.04

In the rear, the toe was -.21 and +.31 before, which I suspect was what was causing the squirrelliness (but I'm no alignment guru).

Yes but let them settle for a week. Drive it, not just sitting in the garage.

I have no idea, I am just going by what I read on this forum. I didn't take my car up to the Ford dealership and didn't ask them either.

That would be realy weird. The VW dealer was happy to align my GTI after I lowered it.
