Why not install everythang on the same time then a week later go in for alignment? I don't understand the reason for splitting the install on separate days

im just going by from what ive read and the shops recommendation. springs and spacers are going in first, i guess i can also ask for them to install the camber arms too. ill have to go a second time to the shop for alignment anyways. im no expert, so i was just taking into consideration what ive read and from what ive been told

FWIW I had my camber stuff installed at the same time I had my coilovers installed and had my alignment done about a month later...

albeit not by choice; Westend alignment's schedule was full and I had to wait a full month for a proper alignment and corner balance

Yes allow some time for it to settle. To install the camber arms, yourE going to drop the spring buckets again anyways, so I would just set the camber arms to the same length as oem when installing. The tech will adjust accordingly when you go to align it. However, if the shop is doing the install it doesn't really matter. I thought you were doing this yourself, that's why I suggested it.

thanks b15!

ive done this in the past in other cars, but since i live in an apartment complex and dont have all the tools at hand right now, ill let the shop do it this time around. plus ive gotten old and lazy
