When I first got my car I installed lowering springs on the original struts and had the front realigned.(camber bolts were necessary). Now I have decide to replace the struts with a performance strut. Will I need to have the alignment done again? or will it be good since I'm not changing the spring hight this time. I know I should have done it all at the same time.

Thanks in advance

 

Just to be safe I'd have everything aligned again. Can't ever be too safe.

 

Anytime you mess with the geometry of the front suspension in any way = Alignment time! You'll pay for it in messed up tires if you don't.

That includes hella potholes, if you're lucky enough to hit them.

 

alignment cost < replacement tire cost

 

Camber bolts? How low did you go? Mine is within spec and I have Eibach Sportlines. If you lower it with springs, and get an alignment, then change dampers, you dont need another alignment. Geometry is unchanged. Unless you go with coilovers. Mine is lowered 1.6" front 2.3" rear

 

you will need to realign for sure. When the struts get changed there is no way to tell if the camber bolts got put in the same exact way they were before. Tow I would think would be unchanged. Make sure you tell the alignment shop you have camber bolts in there
