alignment question
Hi guys, I installed some Ksports about a month ago and drove around with my car absolutely slammed to the ground for about 3 weeks. During that time I noticed my alignment was out a bit, but not too bad. I recently found time to adjust the height to something more sane, but my alignment feels really outta wack now. The steering wheel has to be held about a quarter turn to the right to go straight.
I need to get an alignment right away, but do I need to do all 4 wheels or just the fronts?
PS, the Ksports are awesome.

Just fronts. Thrust alignment is what they called it when I got my alignment done. They align the fronts with the back, but no adjustments are made to the rear. $39.99 was all I paid for 2 wheel alignment

Damn, I went and paid for a 4 wheel, and looking at the datasheet they didnt adjust the rears at all.... I should have posted the question sooner.
My camber on my front right is -2.9 though, and they recommended a camber kit(bolts) for about $70 installed. I will likely do some more adjustments in the next month or so before getting another alignment done, and maybe go to a different place to see if they can get my front right a little less negative.

After reading 1,000's of posts on the issue, I knew we didn't need camber kits for the ksports, but as I am a super-n00b with this stuff I didn't exactly know why.

you can go to any shop even if your car is lowered with a kit? i used to hear that you have to go to a shop with a certain type of machine that aligns the fronts if you have lowered your car...
or maybe its if you have a kit on, itll scrape??
i dunno
