I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.
Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it. So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

Yes it is important.
But for us, since we have a limited amount of negative camber available, camber is more important. For instance I'm pretty sure around -1.9 is about the right amount of negative camber for MY roll resistance and caster. On a stock vehicle or with softer springs, the caster isn't going to get you close to that, so maxing camber out first is most important. |
