Well due to the fact that Santa treated me well this year(money wise).....I'd like to finally drop my car on Tein Basics. The only question I have is...should i put them on and let the car settle before I get an alignment or camber kit(ill go SPC all around if I have to)? I'm looking for around a 1 inch drop all around and i'll most likely need a camber kit to be safe. Any advice is appreciated as usual. Merry Christmas by the way and happy New Year!!

There seem to be some problems with SPC A-arms ... Check out other threads before you decide.

go to firestone and get the lifetime alignment for about 150 bucks. you should get an alignment every 6 months anway so it pays off in 12-18 months. i have this and have already aligned my car twice in 2 months

^ the firestone here, said they don't touch aftermarket anything.

and i wouldn't go with SPC, get the SPL or cusco. your drops not that much, and you won't need much camber. SPC in back, cusco in front.

i heard they dont offer lifetime alignments anymore

I just had a precision alignment done by a independent mechanic fully trained in all aspects of automotive technology.
I was with him as he explained every step as he went along.
He also sets up cars (Minis, Vettes, bimmers, Nissans, Honda, etc.) for various sanctioned events like autoX.
My G deserves no less. If you think all alignments are the same, they are not.
There are not many chains that will take the time to balance settings between both sides of the car, not just pull it within limits and move on.
The equipment they use and their expertise in using it is a big factor.

Firestone:
Lifetime Limited Warranty* on the alignment, which means we’ll set alignment angles on your vehicle every 5,000 miles or whenever needed, free of charge, for as long as you own it

24-month/24,000-mile wheel balance coverage*

*See your auto advisor for complete terms and conditions of written, limited warranties

ok so i would put the coilovers on and drive the car around alittle bit(like 2 weeks) before I go to get an alignment or camber kit?
