Car wont align after lowering
I lowered my car with the Vogtland springs from hotpart.com and when I had the car aligned they said I ran out of adjustment and my camber is still 1 degree off on both sides. Could something be bent which is not allowing it to align properly? The car still tends to pull to.

Re: Car wont align after lowering
How far did the springs drop the car? I had no trouble with alignment with a 1.8" drop. Other question is, what alignment specs are you trying to meet? The stock spec is +1.0-deg camber, and that's not what you want. Most sources recommend -0.8 to -1.0-deg camber on a lowerd car. I ran -1.0-deg with no problems.

I agree, although the alignment guys may look shocked I've been fine with my car with -1 camber, max caster +5 and 0 toe
for more help your going to have to list what was actually off so that someone can give you an idea of what to do

Re: Car wont align after lowering
I had an alignment once (after lowering the car) where they claimed they couldn't get to my specs (which were near stock). Turns out the lower adjuster was siezed and they weren't adjusting $hit. I ended up having to break it free myself (when I put on new upper and lower control arms).
