Question is, do I need to get the alignment/tracking sorted out after the springs have settled as looking at posts regarding Eibachs some people have mentioned it - others have not????
Thanks in advance

Gary told me to get my tracking done/checked after about 1000 miles or so.
Did not need any adjustment but worth getting it checked.
The drive back will be more fun

Id say both, you'll need it done again after the car has been driven and settled

Also.... when i had mine done, nobody warned me that it changes how the car drives.
May have just been mine, but i couldnt stay in my lane coming back through stockport on the M60.
Had to really concentrate keeping the steering central as the slightest movement made me veer left or right... zig-zagging down the motorway

Cheers guys - I live not far from a place that specialises in alignment/geometry set ups so will have a chat to them after i have em fitted. Sounds like I'm gonna notice a difference in the handling - so long as I don't end up in a ditch I'll be happy

Did you watch them do it, did they do the rear

?
As far as I knew the only adjustment you could make are the track rod ends? If they are out of alignment then lowering amplifies any problems.
Lowered mine myself but havent had any alignments done. Tend to do tracking when I get my tyres done.

No, did not watch them do it, but they called me over and showed me on the computer screen and it was the rear wheels that were out the most. All I can say is the car was a totally different car to drive after they had done.
