Teach me about front end line up after lowering - 2012
I recently lowered my 2012 using Steeda sport springs [1" front/1.25 rear] and Koni STR.t shocks/stuts. Do i need to have the front end lined up now? If so what specs?

Thanks.

you should always get an alignment after lowering. Lowering increases negative camber and even toe a little.

Yes, we recommend an alignment after lowering. Did you do camber plates and/or camber bolts too?

No camber plates or bolts, is it possible to line it without theses?

Depends how low of a drop. I have Steeda springs on mine and alignment is good without camber plates.
