I need to get my car aligned because I had it lowered, do I need a two or four wheel alignment? How much should it cost? Can the Nissan dealer do it? Thanks.

Since you can't align the rear, you could do just 2. BUT it's probably a good idea to see if the back is wacked.... if the measurements are really far off on the back, you could have bent some suspension parts.

Thanks Shing. The car feels fine, but everyone says the alignment should be done after lowering it, so I'll go ahead and get that done. n/m

I have a a 3rd gen and I know that the suspensions are completely different but I was told that when I get my Eibachs that I will have to get both the front and rear end aligned. Just thought I would share this info.

That's because you have independent rear suspension where you can adjust certain things. 4th gen has a rear log suspension where nothing is adjustable.

Hey Shing, can you take a look at my alignment numbers (in my other post) and tell me if they sound right, thanks.
