Hey, just had a new Maximum Motorsports sport suspension kit installed. Went to the alignment shop to button everything up, they said they won't do it until the car has been driven for some time to break in the springs. Problem is, the installer said do not drive until aligned, it was jsut setup to get it to where it needs to go and is all out of whack. Any suggestions?

Springs don't "break in". Isolators settle, bushings compress, etc, but none of that is an issue with an aftermarket suspension like that. So find a different shop to do the alignment, or do it yourself, it's not that hard. How to do your own alignments, low cost, effective. - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum
