Alingment after DF210s???

I'm no newbie when it comes to cars, lowering or anything else but here are my two questions.

1.) I recently dropped on DF210 springs. I am not going to put camber kits on my car because I do not drive this car more than 50 miles a week. So saying that, if I am not putting kits on, should I even bother with the alignment? I read so many threads on how they really can't fix camber or toe without kits so would it even be possible to straighten mine out?

2.) I am installing new shocks/struts and front wheel bearings in the next couple weeks. Should I wait until after I install these to do the alignment or do these two parts not have an effect on a vehicle's alignment?

Thanks so much guys!

Yes you need an alignment regardless if you install camber kits or not. During the spring installation process, you have to loosen the toe bolts in the rear and unless you marked them and adjusted them back to their exact location, your alignment settings could be way out of wack.

Ok thank you.

So should I wait until I install the shocks/struts and front wheel bearings to get the alignment, or do those installs not effect alignment specs?

u should do an alignment as soon as possible. u will eat thrue those back tires quick. anytime u start taking apart the suspension it will require an alignment to again.

OK, I went to go get an alignement and finally found a shop that could work on my dropped car. The tech said there is no point in aligning my car if I dont get a camber kit.

Is there no way to adjust front and rear toe and camber?? Dropped on DF210 springs.

If the shop knows what he is doing. He should know you cant adjust the camber without a kit. But you can adjust your toe front and rear. Im drop on s-tech and My toe was way off but they adjusted back to spec.

find another shop, he doesn't know what he's doing or he's trying to sell you a camber kit. you can still align it without a camber & toe adjustment. since your on df210's then you need some camber anyway.
