Im only lowered 2 inches in the front using a belltech coil, and 4 inches in the rear with shackles and hangers. I called a very good alignment shop, who specialize in alignment. He said he is 99% sure we will not need to modify the suspension with alignment bushing to get it straight. He seems very confident there is plenty of adjustment in the stock suspension to accommodate for a 2 inch drop.

I already own a belltech camber correction kit (bushings/plates/tool).

Should I pay the shop to try to fix the camber with just an alignment?

Or do I install the bushings and then have it aligned?

This shop is very well known for being top notch. Lots of guys have their track cars setup here, and his reviews are outstanding. Has anyone been down this road before?

 

You probably won't need them. But I would appreciate them telling you up front that extra parts & work MAY be needed. Better business practice in my opinion.

 

Thanks for the input. I guess its easier to pay the failed alignment cost, than it is to spend all that time installing bushings i may not need. At least this way, i can return or sell the camber kit.

The shop owner was trying to save me from spending money on unnecessary parts. They dont do installs anyway, just alignments.....all day long.

 

When I ran a big tire shop in Alaska, we did a lot of alignments and front end work. If something like this came in & wasn't able to be aligned without more work, we only charged the customer $25.00 for the attempted alignment. Regular price was $79.00 for front end alignment.

When the customer returned later for the alignment, we deducted the $25 they already paid from the $79 price.

 

You should have no issues getting the proper alignment with just 2" drop springs.

 

Never had a problem aligning mine with 2" springs up front.
