Lowering Bilstein coil-overs...alignment??

[jkilla71]

I would like to lower my Bilstein coil-overs a ½ inch in the front.

It is no problem to do so but will lowering the car more change the alignment?


Thanks

Its easy enough to tell, Just use a tape measure from the rim to rim in front and back of the axles. Thats your toe in,
Then use a angle finder on the outside of each rim with a
block of wood to span from bead to bead on the rim. Thats camber. If this does not make sense, I'd spend the $ on a slignment check. Locally thats free if they don't make any adjustments

Thank you for the good advice


It is obvious to me now but I would have never it gave it a thought to check if the alignment changed by myself.

Thanks
