Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just bought a VW Passat and want to put coilovers on it. My question is when the coilovers are installed I'll need an alignment, but do I need to get an alignment done everytime I adjust the coilovers up or down?

HunterJohnson Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 you could leave a mark where you got them aligned for daily driving, then drop it for shows then put it back to where you had it, if that makes sense Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Right, but do I need to have the alignment re-done everytime I lower or raise the car with the coilovers?

Leo1103 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Technically you should get an alignment whenever you adjust them. However If you do what Hunter said and mark the normal height on the coilovers you can just put them back to normal,using the marks as reference, and the alignment will still be good.

hdorre Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Whenever you change height, you want a realignment. When you change the dampening, you don't need an alignment.
