people with the eibach sportline lowering springs???

Ok so when i get these to my house are there any important things that i need to know??

Such as do i need to get tire rotations every so often, and honestly how important are those tire rotations?? I heard that if you dont get them every so often that the life of your tires go bad

your tires wear differently at each corner due to weight and turning and all kinds of crap, so one tire will wear much quicker than another if you dont rotate them. By rotating, each tire takes the same "beating" over time and they stay even. and... get a spring compressor. Aso, you may want to consider getting an alignment done... that will save some tire issues.

3,000 is not necessary... most people that do it regularly do it ever other oil change

I'm not sure about the exact milage... if you get an alignment done I would think it would last as long as normal rotations are due (6 months I believe?) because your alignment will be like stock... just not the height. I know on my last car I had sportlines and got an alignment, then rotated about half a year and my tires lasted untill I sold it at about 1-1/2 to 2 yrs and they still looked good.

ok heres the deal, rotates, every 6000, alignments at least once a year, i work at sears and see this crap all the time, people not rotating tires at all and front ones are bald and new are damn near new. and alignments i cant stress enough, sears checks alignments for free and if it needs to be done they are 64.99

yeah, and make sure to get that alignment soon after or else your tires will wear quickly
