Default Another question about lowering

If you lower your Z as low as it can go with the factory bolts, do you need a four wheel alignment?

Thanks,

:confused:

Any time you change your suspension height you need to do a 4 wheel Alignment

The most notable change when lowering is a big increase in neg camber, so if you like the way it handles after lowering, and don't mind more tire wear then when you get it aligned keep the neg camber around -1 front and -.5 rear.

Dead on info..after I lowered mine checked the alignment.It had .9 in the rear and .7 in front.
I think even if you dont lower it it would be a good idea to have it checked.
