I just installed Maxspeed coils. I understand they take a bit of time to settle. How long should I wait before having it aligned to be sure it's fully settled? Also, if it was aligned prior to coil install is my alignment actually off by that much, that is, are my tires going to start wearing exessively...just installed new tires with the coils. Thanks.

 

A week is good

 

I would go now, since alignments are warrantied now, you can go back and back and back and back for 3 months 3K miles (well at NTB they are). I would go now and do it, then wait a couple weeks and do it again, for free!

 

1-2 weeks is the best time frame. BTW, they're called "springs," not coils. Coils = ignition.

 

i had a similar question about spring installs...
im getting progress springs which claim a 1.7" drop in the front and 1.5" in the rear, so would it be wise to get the Eibach adjustment camber bolts from southwest autoworks?

 

Is it ever wise to get anything from southworst auto? Hehe, you shuldn't need the camber bolts on Progress, you will be pretty low though

 

I run Intrax with KYB AGX and didn't need the alignment bolts.

 

i know that not many people have the camber bolts, but i don't know if thats because they just don't know if they need them or not (like me)
is your camber within spec?

 

Yep, it's within spec with some room to spare. You just loosen the lower bolt and jiggle the wheel until it's where you want it and crank the bolt back down.

 

Are you talking about the lower strut mounting bolt?

 

That's it.
