H&R and you alignment.....

just a question I thought I might ask.

Has anyone had an alignment problem with the H&R sport springs?
they should only drop about 1.0"F & 1.0"R.
Just wondered if I needed additional parts to make the
alignment right again.

came across this today, I thought someone else might enjoy as-well.

you should always get a re-alignment after doing any sort of suspension mods... just to be safe

^ what they all said, + to answer the other bit of your question, no additional parts should be needed.


EDIT: The alignment thread is a STICKY in the competition section: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/alignment-settings-street-track-use-43308/

I've got H&R sports and it's more like a 2" - 2 1/4" drop all around. My car is pretty slammed with just springs. Tucking tire( a bit) on all four corners on the stock wheels. I had no problems aligning it the other day.
