Remember .....just put 100 or so miles on the car so it settles, then get a 4 wheel alignment. They should check side to side height, to make sure the car is level. Also front to back, there should be a 3/4 inch rake from back to front. (front lower) Then you're good to go.

Is the procedure any different if you have the electromagnetic shocks, 03-newer?
