of course! the suspension has been altered and will need an alignment or your tires will wear incorrectly

I don't know why I thought dropping on coilovers was any different than dropping on springs alone... it's been so long since I've thought about suspension modifications... the last car I dropped was a 96 Ford Probe which was aligned perfectly and hasn't been touched since. Yes, still have it... 23 years ago it was a leftover on the showroom floor. Damn, I'm old.

I'll need to spend some time searching my area for someone that knows how to properly align a lowered vehicle. There's a highly reputable Corvette shop in Connecticut but do they also work on Bimmers... no idea yet. I drove over an hour just to have tires mounted and road force balanced by a shop that is famous for NOT marking up wheels. Well worth it.

This section seems kinda dead... where's all the action? Probably discussing the new M3/M4 and other models.
