to leave your suspension unaligned for a week? I know it needs to be after a car is lowered, but will it be alright to leave it for a week? getting it done on a sunday is gonna be just about impossible in this city, and I work 10 hour shifts until Thursday. Im off Friday and I can get it done then, that's why i was wondering

 

yes, if you drive it it will wear your tires out 5x as fast, but wont hurt anything else

 

Ya you will be fine. It usually doesn't throw your alignment out of wack too bad. Just like guy above said, wears your tires out faster.

 

i let mine sit for 2 weeks before an alignment so the springs could settle

 

you will be fine the alignment barely changes....one burn out will wear the tires more than 10k without re aligning ....

 

Mine didnt change too much, but it does make a difference in the alignment.

 

Lowering springs effect toe, which effects steering stability. The actual wear that occurs is called "feathering" where the tread started to "saw-tooth" a bit. The larger issue is the steering, but you won't notice it. You will be fine.

 

just dont drive like a maniac and you'll be fine.

 

Actually it only wears them out 3.14159 times faster.

 

^^ that number looks familiar... lol

 

I've been lowered for some time now.

No alignment, no nothing.

Tire wear is completely normal. I checked them at the shop at school when I changed my oil the other day.

So much for alignments.

 

Wrong it is actually...........

3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 ............

 

Alignments are important. You obviously dont know how to check your tires for wear cause there is a large chance there is some abnormal wear. But if you dont think you need one, all the power to you.

 

I'm on the same boat as the other guy, no allignment after i put on springs 10k ago. Tires are wearing normally, had them checked out as well. I do rotate them every 3k or so.
