Surprise, it's been lowered

[Empurfektion]

Yea, it has super tiny white lettering but its not very long and could be facing the front where he can't see.

Thanks guys for your input. Car is agetting aligned as I type this so I will know in a couple hrs and report back. I will also post the alignment report for you guys to review and comment. In the meantime does anyone have pics of their negative camber that they can post, for comparison sake?

Ok the results are in. The first owner had it lowered but never got an alignment after.
So it was all out. Take a look at the reports and let me know what you guys think.
Thanks

Specs look good from what I can tell.

I don't think taking pics of rear wheels will tell you much. It's hard to notice one degree of camber from a pic. Hopefully it rides and drives a lot better than before.

The report makes it look like he left your front left caster out of spec?

You can't adjust caster on the car.

if you buy the spc balljoints and don't line them up correctly you can actually use this to adjust caster on this car. the stupid shop that did my alignment did align the one correctly at all and it actually took off a whole degree of caster. i'm tempted to go back there and tell them to line it up correctly, but everything is in spec so i dont know how worried i should be about it.

Well I'm noticing now that when going slow and take a sharp right turn like into a parking lot I hear a bit of a knock in the front passenger side of the car. Any ideas what that could be from? A friend said that springs can sometimes move a bit from their seat and that could be what I'm hearing?

Did you ever get it aligned?

 

[cpspeed6]

Yes, I posted the alignment report back a few threads

I'd take it back and have them take a peek at it. Could have been something they adjusted that the car didn't care for.

After I read that, I realized I commented on your alignment specs...I'm an idiot.

I just put the new rear mount in, guess I better take that out before I go back in. They will definitely notice the vibes.

Nah, I wouldn't worry about it. That won't be the reason you're feeling something in your suspension.

 

[cpspeed6]

No, but aren't they gonna say something about me changing out my mount ( warranty void)?

I doubt they'll notice it, unless they pull the splash guard off, which they shouldn't be doing in this case.

lol if they notice, Suprise car came with upgraded motor mounts.

Sig worthy???

(peep)

Had my car in a pro alignment shop today to diagnose my clunking.
Front endlink bushings are toast. Also found out that my springs are Eibach Pro Kit. Spring installl done by the first owner is all good, so good news. While they fix the endlinks, I'm going to get the Whiteline RSB installed and probably the rearward diff bushings replaced as well while it's on the hoist.

Good to hear you got things all figured out. The RSB is a nice addition, you'll really like it.

Is a front Swaybar upgrade worth it over stock?
