Post-Lowering alignment.

Just to remind my friends here how important it is to realign the car after the lowering springs go in and settle.

Job wasn't done when the photo was taken but look how wonky those numbers are "before measurement."

I did the same. I drove the car for 3 weeks then went back for the alignment. I wanted the springs to settle a bit before getting the alignment.

How much did your lower your car and did it get back in spec with the other stock suspension parts?
