How did you throw your alignment off so much? Shouldnt have had to touch it just for brakes.

sounds like your having one of those days... we've all been there before

Let the car sit for a few days and think about what it did, cool off and tackle it in a better frame of mind, before wrenches start flying... haha that never ends well.

Save up for some coilovers and dont kill yourself messing with the stock setup

[ryan218]

[1990Coupe]

The SN95 stuff is different. You def will need an alighment. Same thing happened to me, i just eyed it best i could .

All you need to do is turn the tie rods out more ryan. On my black notch with 95 spindles and fox inner and outer tie rods, I turned the outers out 17 times per side to get it to the alignment shop.

yeah had to spin mine about 10 times on passenger side and two on driver. went and got my new lowering springs. now to go put them in. eibach are already out.

Both sides should be spun outward equally. 2 times is nothing....like I said, mine took 17 times per side.

 

[ryan218]

the other side was all it took to aline it. poassenger side was turned in as if the wheel was tuned a half time around.

Quick and dirty toe in check:
Clamp an ice pick on the front part of the fender well so that the pick point scribes a mark on the tire. Rotate the tire so that the scribe mark is all around the tire. Do the same thing to the tire on the other side.

Use a tape measure and measure the distance between the scribe marks at the front of the tire. Then try to measure the scibe marks at the rear of the tire with the tape. Measure the back side of the at the same height as when you measured the front. More distance at the back means toe in, and less distance at the back means toe out. You should shoot for 1/16"-1/8" toe in.

How much for the sportlines?

 

[Mustang78]

i usually have a friend hold a tape measure on a certain part of the tread and i do the same on my side.. measure. Also you want to turn them equally, 10 times on one and 2 times on the other side is a bad thing, they should be even.. i would start over with the toe adjustment or your car will turn farther one direction than the other(in parking lots and such)

 

[ryan218]

How much for the sportlines?

i traded them. passenger side spring is in now. rears are in. driveside is next. that can wait for a few hours so i can warm up and get some food.
