You should wait at least a week or two before getting your alignment. I don't think its the springs that need settling...its the bushings/etc that all need to get used to new equipment.

 

I'm thinking of getting the lifetime (of owning the car) alignment at Firestone for 160.00. Does anyone think its worth it? How many times or how often is it best to get an alignment? Once a yr.?< if this is the case is the 160 even worth considering?

I heard that an Eibach drop is considerably the most conservative of the springs available in the market today that one would not even need a camber kit for the G35. Some cars tend to camber in way more than others, however with the newer G35 its tendency is pretty low. I'm getting the Eibach camber bolt put in so Ill have that peace of mind but also considering an alignment more for vanity reasons (flushness).

 

It depends if you trust the firestone you're taking it to. I worked at firestone in San Diego for 3 years and i wouldnt trust anyone there but myself with my car or any other nice car for that matter. So, needless to say, everyone with a G on this forum that lived in San Diego was lucky i was there to do their work and some even went as far as letting nobody else but me touch their cars, EVER.

It is definitely worth the $160 and you should get the alignment done once every 6 months or 6k miles.

I remember reading on this forum at some point that someone went to Firestone and the couldn't get a lowered car on their jacks, so make sure they can before you pay for it...

 

looks good cant wait to see them on the car

 

Isn't it a simple procedure? they have the equipment, the knowledge (lets hope), and the right price. What could go wrong? Do they give me a print out of the alignment to show proof of the specs I wanted?

hmmm Im also kinda worried that he mentioned lowered cars can have issues going on the jacks.

 

You'd be surprised. Most Firestone's have the Hunter laser machine, if so, you dont have to worry about them jacking the car up. THey just have to have room to drive it up the ramp for the rack. When my car was lowered 3" i had to use 2x10's and blocks underneath to get my car on our rack.



It's not a simple as you may think for some people. I've seen numerous wheels get scratched by careless mechanics. The laser head clamps on the outside lip of the wheel so if they're not careful, they can knick the finish on your brand spankin new wheels. They should give you a before and after printout with specs.

 

Hummm maybe a 19x9 +29 all around on my car. I like those alot cant wait to see them on.

 

it would look awesome on your car.

Grant if you are like me, you are great at spending other people money. I do the same with my friends. You should get this you should get that. LOL But I wont jack hans thread anymore. Its all about him.

 

Haha, i'm totally like that, i dont have any money to be spending on my car, so i'll live vicariously through all of you that do!

I'm sure Hans doesnt mind, afterall, i did go through countless PM's with him in picking out the correct size/offset for these wheels/tires

cant wait to see em finally on the car!
