Alignment after 1 inch drop?
4 Attachment(s)
So, I had the awesome people at Revworks Orlando install my BC extreme low coilovers, stance camber arms and spacers (20mm front, 24mm rear). They did a great job. After riding for a few weeks, I'm getting a little picky. I want my rear lowered about another inch. I'm planning on doing the adjustment myself. Will I need an alignment after only an inch drop? What if I only drop a half inch instead? Online I'm seeing a lot of advice saying you do need one and also a lot saying you don't. Any suggestions? Here's some pics of where I'm sitting now...

If you go down another inch, your tire will make love to the fender liner. ALL NIGHT LONG

If you change anything suspension wise(other than swaybars) you should do an alignment.
It might not be too far off if you only lower an inch, but you sacrifice tire life...why spend all that money on coilovers and adjustable arms just to not have a perfect alignment? |
Why do you want to go lower???
|
Why are your mirrors miss matched? I'd fix that first.

Does the front lip not scrape on driveways?
Mine is stock height and it still scrapes , even with 40psi in the tyres. |
Get bigger wheels, it'll fill the gap and you won't have to scrape your fender lining to go any lower.
Stock wheels make it look worse. Get some 18s and your gap will magically disappear! |

OP: Yes, if you lower the rear suspension your camber and toe will be out of alignment. You'll need an alignment to fix that to avoid potential issues with handling and tire wear. |
Lower is not better. When you go low beyond the functional benefits of the suspension setup it's pointless, unless it's strictly a show car. Slamming a DD seems dumb to me, why kill your ride quality and front bumper just for the sake of thinking you're impressing someone.
