Really sucks cause I don't want to dump another 80 bucks for another alignment but better than premature wear on the tires i guess.



here, are you saying half an inch lowered in the front will affect the rear, or half an inch lowered in the rear would affect the rear toe? because the only coilover that was adjusted (forcefully) was the front right (single).

Not sure why one front coilover would affect the toe of the rear?
sorry if I was not clear. I meant that the front height would not affect camber/toe as much as the rear height would. although a difference of half an inch would still affect the front toe, it would not be as a dramatic of a difference as the rear if it was half an inch lower.

though, having your toe set properly will save your tires in the long run. but you won't damage your car too much if you drive locally on a slightly bad alignment. driving at high speeds will really mess up your tread. if you start noticing your TC or VSC kick in on slight turns, then that is when you know your alignment is really off.
