just installed coilovers.......?

hey guys. just finishd installing my stance gr+ pro coilovers. the car sits pretty low as i didnt mess with the factory height on the coils. how long do i drive the car before i can go get it alinged? as far as i can tell the alingment didnt change at all. drives just as straight as it did before but im worried about the camber and toe. thanks!


another question....for those stance experience.....how high can you raise the car? since stance coils adjust by moving the inner tube (not the spring and perch) if you raise the car too much the inner tube will pop out of the lower bracket that it screws into. my car is sitting too low for my taste and i want to raise it up quite a bit but dont know how high it will go. if anyone can help me out id appreciate it. thanks!

A week or two should be enough for settling.

A week is good. you won't be able to tell a difference (the alignment would have to REALLY be out for you to tell. But just a degree or two of toe can kill your tires.

Sorry if this is an obvious question but if you install camber kit along with coilovers should you also wait the 1-2 weeks before getting alignment or am I just being paranoid and it really doesn't matter?

You should wait a week or two whenever you change springs/coilovers since you wanna it some time to settle before aligning.

I had mine all done the same day (lower, camber and alignment). I came back two weeks later to raise the rear a bit and did another alignment and there were no changes in the alignment..
