Eibach Springs

[AltimoAltima]

So I'm really considering putting the eibach lowering springs on my 2011 altima coupe. After I install them what are all the other things I should get done like alignment ect?

Thanks so much in advance.

I'd wait a week or so for the springs to settle a bit, then I'd take it in for alignment. I'd try to get the toe set to 0, or as close as they possibly could to 0. Toe kills tires a lot faster than negative camber (although that is something that diminishes your tires as well).

Hmm good to know. I thought springs didn't need alignment.

[mattyfo0z]

They definitely do.

I didn't get one because I was going to sell my wheels/tires on my last car, and even though I was only lowered for about 2/3 weeks, my tread on my rear wheels was down to about 50% because of uncorrected toe. Ended up having to sell them for around $100-$120 less because of a $60 mistake...

Who do you take the car to for alignment? dealer? tire shop?

Wow. I always hear stuff like that but I usually think people are just bsing.

Tire shop with an alignment rack, dealer, sears, a lot of places do alignments. I go to NTB. Places like Firestone and NTB offer 1,3 and 5 year alignment plans also, or even life time plans.

I would do (and did myself) the alignment immediately after install, and then again in about a month or so. Immediately after because you are completely disassembling your suspension, it is not going to go back in aligned. Then again in a month after the springs settle. This way, you are never out of alignment for an extended period of time.

I purchased Firestone lifetime alignment on sale for $150 and I use it every spring and fall when I change my wheels. It has paid for itself 5 times over, great investment.

1.4" front and 1" even on the rear. Install price will vary from place to place. Usually shops will charge anywhere between $85-$125 per hour from what we've seen, but you never know.

How many hours do you think it'll take to install springs on 4 corners?
