Read through but didn't see the answer on the camber question.

Also, any possibility of a group buy?

Also, whats the recommendation on getting the alignment done? I've always heard you should do it after lowering the car. True or False?

Dr Jones...It is my car pictured at the start of this thread...the camber is good. I love the drop and still rides pretty close to stock....as far as alignment,it doesnt feel as if it needs it but I will anyway as soon as I have some time.I hope it clears things up a little for you.Also...give Sharif a call...He is very knowledgable with this and he is the installer of the springs on my car.

Correct... Typically alignment is recommended. I'm having the H-Techs put on this week and will probably swing by Butler Tire (Atlanta)to have the alignment checked a few weeks later... Unless Sharif does alignments, but I don't think he does.

He doesn't but he has a guy local who does. I think he put round 8Grrr on his last set of tires/springs and never got it aligned if that tells you his stance on that (pun not intended).

From my point of view, I'm not rushing off until I have a plan that can make it worth it with rear camber adjustment. Also, BTW, the my H&Rs really dropped another 1/2" after 5-600 miles. I drove 350 miles back from ATL and they still dropped a bit more later. If other springs are anything like this, it might be worth breaking them in before getting the alignment, b/c more drop would change the settings.

Very good point about breaking them in. I get the H-Techs on tomorrow. Since the drop isn't as aggressive as the H&Rs, I'm hoping I can get away without having to align or make camber adjustments. I guess we'll have to see.

Probably so... I'm expecting it, but it sure would be nice to not need it.
