Well i just got my springs installed today.. They are real nice.. I did actually feel safer in the car cus of the lower center of gravity.. Also it does make the car handle better.. Not huuge difference, but still noticable.. The ride is comfy, just a little more stiffer than stock and a little less bouncy, which is perfect for almost all driving.. I am definatley satsfied.. Me and my friends all like the new look its sporty and agressive.. Now i have to install my sway bar and 18's with kdw;s and see how i handle after this... I'll update also after they settle..

I don't know of any alignment thats performed only for the rear wheels.


Either you get alignment or you don't. Give it about 3 weeks and get an alignment.

You DEFINATELY want to get an alignment (and make sure it's all 4 wheels) as soon as possible because you can run through your tires quickly.

When you lower the car you are changing the camber and toe of the wheels and tires which will cause the rubber to sit at different angles on the pavement. By not getting an alignment, you could possibly "run down" the edge of your tire.

And, when you do get the alignment, make sure you can get a print out of the "before" and "after" settings. I always find it interesting to see how much adjustment has to be made to the car because of daily driving. So far, it's been minimal when I have had to had an alignment done.

Enjoy your H-Techs - I LOVE mine!!!

a month after i got my s-techs installed i went for an alignment at sears that used laser to align. it was $65 per "axle" the fronts where still in spec and hadn't changed enough at all to worry about. the backs had to be alighned and that is all that was done. i road like that for the past year and had no excessive wear.
