camber kit and spacers questions
 
Hey everyone, just had some n00b questions:
I was about to get my car aligned tomorrow but I wanted to pick up some spacers so the rims is a little more flush.. Should I hold back on the alignment because it will throw the camber off again??

Also, do you guys think the camber arm kits will keep the car in line for the whole time? or must you get it aligned every year or years?

Thanks in advance

In my experience alignment is something that needs to be rechecked occasionally regardless. I usually recheck every 3-6 months at least, and also any time something feels 'off', or if I know I've done something that might screw it up recently (like hit a bad pothole). Most of those 'regular' checkups result in little if any adjustment, but it makes me feel better :)

A spacer can change the camber, that's what i've read from the 350z guys. I would check the alignment after the spacers.

Yes, it is altering the track width. It's not necessarily better or worse but it will be slightly different, especially if you do it only to one axle.

I would wait until you put the spacers on then get an alignment.
