You got the H&R springs so you don't need the urethane cushions because H&R springs will give you the even drop.
If you have TRD/Eibach springs like me then you will have the grandma sagging look which the Urethane cushion will help even it out. My car looks even because of the urethane cushions.

You suppose to get alignment right after you installed new springs. Springs settle in have nothing to do with your alignment. So you don't have to wait for springs to settle in.
Btw, how do you know you didn't need an alignment? Did they print out the specs for you and it shown that you don't need an alignment?

I don't know who said it, but it's common sense to get an alignment after you do major work on your suspensions, mainly adjusting your springs.

Get it aligned before you get in deep trouble along the road.

ml2b0n3z · 10-29-2008, 11:25 PM

but i was driving on the streets around my area and let go of the steering wheel and it was going straight... so i don't know... if it's going straight why do i need an alignment? sorry for the questions but i'm new at this so please let me know...

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 10-29-2008, 11:27 PM

when you drop on springs.

your toe, camber, alignment, basically.. everything.. goes off. You will wear out your tires FAST. Trust me, you need alignment. your alignment right now is worse than a 20yr old car.

ml2b0n3z · 10-29-2008, 11:32 PM

so... any alignment shop that you guys recommand? and how much is it for alignment? and one more question... what does alignment shop should do? because i went to Discount Tires before to get alignment and didn't see the difference... so... yea...?
