I'm planning on lowering my car soon, so I'm trying to setup a schedule to get everything done.

My question, after I get my springs/shocks(H&R/Tokico), I should get my car aligned right? Should I take it to my Nissan Dealer or what?

Anything else I should prepare for?

 

Well I don't personally have my car lowered, but I can make a suggestion. Don't take it to the dealer to get aligned. That will just cause you fits later if you need warranty work on your suspension. They will also make you get a second mortage on your house for the alignment. Just take it to just about anyone and they can do an alignment for you. Just make sure you get a printout afterwards of the parameters i.e. thrust angle, toe in, etc.

 

You'll need to take the car to a reputable shop that is accustomed to dealing with lowered cars. Most shops who deal with aftermarket rims or shocks would be a good starting point. They should know what to do based on the spring/shock package you've applied (lowering springs vs coilovers). Don't let them try to sell you an alingment kit either (cambar kit?): you don't need it with the H&R/Tokico setup.

You'll need an alignment which they will probably need to adjust toe.

Don't take it to Sears, Firestone, etc, because they deal primarily with stock automobiles.

Also, after the springs/shocks are installed, the car will seem to ride just fine. It still needs to be taken to the shop. You'll wear out your tires if you don't take it.
