What else do i have to do except change out he struts and springs? do i have to get an aligment or adjust anything else. Sorry if repost.

 

alignment is recommended..
thats pretty much it

 

do i get one after the springs set in or just right after i lower it

 

i did mine after a week i got lowered

 

What are some recommended alignment specs? That is, for "sprited" street use (ie no auto-x). Is the rear even adjustable?

Thanks.

 

On the topic of alignment, what should one cost normally. I went to get the 45,000 mile service on my car and they wanted $132 for 1.5 of labor and I thought that sounded really high. I thought I remembered Big-O tire charging between $40-80.

 

i didnt do alignment and now im fu*ed, i will do it as soon as can!
You might need camber kits, depends how low is your car...

 

my g/f did an alignment on her dropped is300 for 69 bucks from tk (tire kingdom) performance in miami, before doing ur alignment id wait for the springs to completely settle no more than 2 weeks.

 

alignment ran me $50 at good year but in jacksonville, fl.

 

I went 8000 miles on a set of Teins without an alignment and didn't even have the slightest bit of tire wear. It wasn't intentional, but i did get one after the JIC's were installed.

 

I wouldnt worry to much about replacing your struts right away. If you are lowering your car more than 2", then you will need to buy some aftermarket struts, but if not you can save a butt load of cash! I still have my stock struts after about a year and they are good as new! just my 2cents.

 

Goodyear charged me something like $90 2 years ago. I'm 90% sure the max's rear can't be aligned. I'm asking half off next time I get this done........ My wheel was cocked to the right after I changed out my suspension. The alignment fixed that.

 

which springs require you to get a camber kit???

 

I don't think any. Just get an alignment and you'll be fine.
