Yes because you are changing your ride height. That changes the suspension geometry. Need an alignment too.If I drop the rear cradle (I have access to a lift) to install my BMR springs, do I still need to re-clock all of the bushings?
Do it whenever is feasible before the alignment. If you have the equipment, do it immediately after installation. Otherwise they should be able to do it on the alignment rack. It's an odd request but a good shop will do it.I'm fixing to install PP dampers and BMR minimal lowering springs. I read this post from start to finish and did not see this question answered. For simplicity I'm going to have the guys doing the alignment clock the bushings. Some members mentioned driving 50 miles or so to allow the springs to settle. Does it matter driving the 50 miles before or after clocking the bushing and doing the alignment?
I don't KNOW but since factory springs also settle and I have never heard anyone say they either needed or did re-clock after the factory springs settled, it would seem okay to do it at time of install. But if the cost is the same to wait, might as well get that final fraction of benefit.I'm fixing to install PP dampers and BMR minimal lowering springs.

I'm installing them myself on jack stands so the clocking won't get done until the alignment. Guess I will put 50 or so miles on the springs after install then do the alignment.

:lol::lol:I did progressive springs two months ago and no squeaks so far, work done at dealership and was a 4 hr. job. The job is serious and requires skill, 3 hr. per axle for billing purpose so the Service Mgr. tells me. Now I need Bilstein shocks & struts to pair with the drop.
