Anyone have any problem with unstraighten tires after lowering springs? I have a camber kit but the guy said they probably wont be straight?!

Help please.
What else do I need or need to do?

 

It's usually recommended to get an alignment after any suspension work is done.

If your wheel isn't straight, get one.

 

I will just. The place I went too. Said they worked on a VW and the wheels wouldn't become
Straight and you could tell. Just makes me sketched out.

 

Others probably know more than I do about it, but with the camber kit it should help the tires to sit flush and flat against the pavement.

Check out other places to get an alignment.

 

That's what I been trying to do. I don't know who to talk on her. A lot of people in my city either want you to pay a lot of money and don't know how to do it. Don't know where to go.

 

Lower cobalts means front toe gets way out of alignment. Nothing happens to the rear.

 

Way out of alignment? I have eibach sportlines. So will my front tires be way out of alignment?

 

Your toe should be

 

i put sportlines on my car and i didnt use the camber kit. they showed me the before and after alignnment sheets from the hunter rack and all of them were in the green except caster was off and they didnt fix it. idk what that is all about but get an alignment and u should be fine

 

Caster is not a problem. It doesn't cause wear. Only toe and camber cause wear. I'm lowered on cm springs and my camber was bang on. Only my toe changed as the tie rod angle changed so it made the tires both aim to the center. When it's supposed to be .1 of a degree aimed out away from the center.

 

So if the toe changed what did it do to the car??

 

It still went straight. But it will wear down your tires as it is no longer factory

 

anything I can do to fix it?

 

No true, when I lowered my cobalt on springs and coilovers my rears cambered out unevenly also.

 

That Kind of makes me....sad hearing that. How bad does the tires wear down

 

I spoke for pedders. How low did you drop?

 

Just get an alignment, they are suppose to fix issues like that.

 

Drop rate shouldn't make a difference. The fact that you're disassembling your rear suspension will in itself cause you're alignment to go bad, but I used SSC springs (~1.3F/~1.0R) Then Stance GR+ Coilovers (no wheel gap)

 

I havent lowered yet. Im calling around trying to find people that are very knowledgeable about lowering and can give me a good price. I keep hearing people ask for $500-700 to do it

 

Installing springs is a lot easier than it seems. Even if you're not suspension savvy you can still do it. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but it's literally pull front struts out, replace spring, replace strut. unbolt rear shocks (both sides) then place weight on the hub and pull springs out then replace with new ones. bolt everything up then you're good to go.

 

I would do it but I live in a dorm. My car sits on a street, wouldn't have anywhere to do it.

 

Do you have any friends with a Jack and Jack towers?

 

An okay jack thats about it. Not a lot of tools.

 

It'd be cheaper to buy the tools lol.

 

Yea me and my friend were talking about that. I found someone who can do it for 300. I wanna make sure its perfect. Wish I had my own personal garage.
