When your car was aligned after the install, did the alignment shop set the alignment back to factory specs, and if so have you had any unusual tread wear problems? I'm still having trouble with with my car. (see thread below)

i had trouble with my alignment also. plus the car rode terrible, i switched my c-springs out for the bullitt suspension. the alignment is right on the money and it rides 100 times better.

Hmmm, subscribing. I've got C springs waiting to go in soon. You're making me nervous.

After I put mine on, we didnt change the alignment at all. Wouldnt have been possible to get to factory specs on the camber, but everything else was still in spec. The front wheels have a little negative camber, but its right where I wanted it to be anyway (around -1.3 to -1.5, if im remembering correctly). I chewed the outsides of my old fronts off completely at stock specs (auto-xing).

I have a printout somewhere, if you want i can scan it for you tomorrow maybe.

I set the camber to about -1.5 degrees. I had problems with the stock setting of around -0.8 causing excessive wear on the outside edge of the tire when it was stock.

Installed C's 2 months ago, no cc's, no alignment, no wear, and rides just fine. It could be the way they were installed, if their not seated right it will give you a bunch of

Difference between B & C is spring rate, Cs are firmer. Drop is advertised as the same.
