Re: Alignment & Coil over adjustment

Wait to align it until it's all assembled and full weight, ideally with half a tank of gas and your weight in the driver seat to settle the ride height as close as it'll be to when you're driving it.

If it has new springs that need to settle, set the toe to 1/16" in yourself and put some miles on it to settle the ride height/springs before having it professionally aligned. Caster or camber misalignment won't wear the tires.


Good specs to shoot for since it's no longer stock and on bias plies-


-.5 to -1 camber

1/16" toe in

More caster than stock, hopefully the tubular arms allow for around 7 degrees. Slight stagger in L/R caster to compensate for road crown.
