Wheel alignment after eibachs fitted

platty78 · 05-07-2019, 03:59 PM

Hi I’ve just fitted eibachs to my f31 myself. Easier than I expected. Car looks better and tbh drives a lot better. Do I need to get the car alignment redone ? It seems fine and isn’t pulling or anything ?

What’s your thoughts ?

You should still get it done. Just to make sure your tires wear evenly if anything...

Do it, if not for the spring install than just to make sure everything is within spec (as much as can be after being lowered), plus its a chance to finetune toe settings which can kill tires.

Money down the drain. Measure and monitor your tread depths for the next 3 months.

Let them settle in for 2 months.

Did you also put new stiffer shocks on? Otherwise with Eibach springs and stock dampers you are under-damped.

thanks for the responses.

no didn't change the dampers as i have adaptive suspension on the car so didn't want the cost.
