Suspension Suspension upgrades and Alignment
Suspension upgrades and Alignment
So, I'm looking to install my Koni adj shocks and H sport springs in the next week or so. Couple of questions.
Any recommendations for an alignment shop in the Southern California South Bay area?
Im also looking to change the rear OEM sway bar and JCW front strut brace to an M7 (maybe within the next month). Am I better off waiting to install my shocks and springs until I have the rear sways and the M7 brace (install them all together one alignmen)? Will the 2nd wave of suspension swapout (M7 brace and rear sway bar) impact the alignment?

I don't see how installing the brace and sway bar will affect alignment, except that you detach some stuff while putting in the bar, but that's not enough to make any difference. Just check ur rear camber after the springs, you might need to get control arms if it's too negative.
+1 also might look into getting some adjustable swaybar links, and camber plates, those will allow to fine tune your suspention.
