In terms of adjustable coilovers, I am thinking that every time I change in height of the ride would require the vehicle getting alignment done right?
If you change it by quite a bit then yes, you should get the alignment redone. If you get to a point where you have a winter height and a summer height you could make scribe marks on your toe bolt center lines and make notes of how far down your camber arm threads are exposed in back. You would also do that in front if you go w/ a adjustable camber arm to scribe the center point of the ball joint. That way you can return your alignment to generally where it was before, if you are a DIYer.


If you just need to fine tune your height like a 1/4" then your alignment should still be close enough.

Blnewt, thank you! Also, I just re-read my post and wow, my grammar and sentence structure went out the window on that one. Thanks for answering and not bashing my lack of grammar and sentence structure, as I was mere moments from getting off my on-call shift at 2am.

I went with an Eibach Pro Kit drop. It is not extreme so you still get to take advantage of the awd and not become a snow plow. I did a bunch of research before I decided to go that route. Eibach is a solid company so you know you are going to get a quality product there.

In terms of alignment it wasn't bad after I got it re-aligned. Make sure to do it after they settle. IMO a few weeks if you don't drive alot. Now I am running approximately ~1.9 camber all around. My wear looks solid also.
