^ your engine's gonna blow up if you don't get an alignment.

 

It isnt gonna kill your car, but dont drive like that for more than a few days. not healthy, and Im sure it will most likely drive like **** till you get it straightened out.

 

I wouldn't suggest driving around to much I've only driven around 80 or so miles, now it's just sitting in my garage I would find a alignment place & set up a appointment to better plan the lowering.

 

one time wintermute...

 

I might jack that guys rims, paint them gold & then his euro bumper.

 

Damn that thing is low. Gonna hack my springs maybe this weekend. Already bought the spring compression tool.

 

Actually... about the alignment... it depends on how well you can set it up by eye.

I had my car aligned a year ago, then I lowered it A LOT, chopped out the strut towers and installed race camber plates, loosened my subframe and shifted things around, changed a wheel bearing, installed powerflex bushings.

All these things usually have instructions that end with 'get an alignment'. I haven't. I have a little more toe in front than I'd like, but my tires are wearing more evenly than after any alignment I've ever had. The rears have a little more camber than I'd like, but even those are wearing better than with any other alignment i've ever had.

All the tweaking I did was by visuals of the tire, and feeling where the heat is after a long drive.

BTW, that car sorta looks familiar.... like it was parked in the grass out behind Rays booth at H2O last fall. That one was on bags, and the rear valance was shaved.

 

^ correct. its the same TT on bags and with a shaved valence with a downturned exahust.

p.s. - calvin, i wanna see the TT when ur done!

 

Had some photos taken tonight. Still waiting on my headlight bulbs.

 

very nice, i was looking for koni coilovers when i get to finally lowering the car, where did you buy yours?
