Coilovers

M6NIAC · 08-09-2016, 07:41 PM

I'm hopefully going to be installing coil-overs on my car soon and I was wondering when should I do an alignment? Right after I install them or when they settle and why? Or does it really matter?

Let them settle for a month or so... For a proper alignment it matters..

I let mine settle for a week before I got the alignment done.

Yeah this is why I asked. I know some people let them settle a week, some say month and others even say a couple. Just wanted to see around how long I should wait!
