alignment for a lowered legacy

[Durs845]

does lowering the car change the specs of the alignment?if so how do i find out what the specs should be at time of alignment?do i need new camber bolts ?if so how do i know if i need -1 or -2 camber bolts?

[shazapple]

Yes it does change the alignment. how much are you lowering the car? If its a normal amount (1.5") then you shouldnt need camber bolts

[Durs845]

so i shouldnt need a camber kit since i only lowered 1.4 inches?but how do i know what the specs should be at for camber and toe???

Ask the alignment shop for 0 toe, and -0.5 deg camber front, and -1.0 in the rear.

that's a fairly conservative alignment that will allow you take 45mph onramps at 60mph, without crazy wear on your tires.

For some reason, I was able to achieve -1.5deg of camber in the rear, on a stock suspension. That didn't last long, I had it dialed out.

how did you have it dialed out? The rear camber is not adjustable w/o aftermarket bolts.
