If my car has perfect allingment right now and i lower it with my spool springs, how off will the allignment be? should i let it settle first b4 allinging? and how will it affect my handling b4 the allingment? thanks. i plan on installing springs thurs or sat. then autoX on sun. so i need to know when i should do the allignment.
 
do your alignment before you autocross because you won't know how far off it is/or how much it will hurt you in the cornering
 
but then if it settles will it be off again? hopefully i get my car back so i can put the springs on thurs and leave some heavy stuff in the trunk to help it settle then get aligned sat. hmmm
 
i haven't had any problems with my ground-control after my alignment(settling) hope it helped at all
 
Hey Paul...the day you put your spools on, that nite, load your trunk with heavy stuff,, and the next morning it will be sitting nice. I have had my spools on for about a month, and I got my alignment two days after I put mine on, and the rear has not settled more than a .25 inch more. Good news is the alignment was able to get my P5 back to factory specs. Hope this helps. Later:)
 
sweet, sounds like a plan. As long as i get my car back by weds. If it comes later i will have to do them on sat. then i will be screwed.
