Alignment after drop question

I put Tokico blues and tokico shocks on my 96, when I get the alignment is it still at factory specs?

If not could someone list the new specs

thanks

I think you just tell the tech to get it as close to factory as they can.

I was going to start a thread about alignment after dropping too, but since this is here I'll just ask here. Is suspension settling a fact or fiction? That is do I need to wait (or get the car realigned) after a couple of weeks or can I get it aligned right away and not worry about it?

I would ride around for a week and a half to let the suspension settle in and then do alignment.

Let things settle a few weeks. My drop increased a little with my Tein-H-techs and I had to re-torque bolts back to spec.- everything loosened up a bit. If I were you I would wait a bit and recheck bolt torque just before you get it aligned.

Just for the record, my GR-2s are not as harsh as they were teh first few days - now the ride is similar to OEM.
