Default What happens when

I need to lower the right rear of my vette about 1/2 in. When I do this by adjusting the rear spring bolt, will I need to get the rear alighned for just this small amount? Thanks

Technically, yes. However, the change is small enough that you're probably fine for a while at least.

you will eventually notice tires wearing uneven, or at high speeds you may feel something (I'm talking over 100) -

At the Goodyear down the street- 4 wheel alignment was $120- $50 of that was for the special adapter they use when you have custom wheels (chromes you don't want the edge scratched?) I paid the same for my lifted F150 after the lift and new rims- so I wasn't surprised at the $50 upcharge
