Alignment specs?

[Hotwheelharmer]

Well my mom's matrix is going to be getting 17" rims with 215/50/R17 tires along with a set of TRD lowering springs(she already has TRD front and rear swaybars and front strut brace). I need to know though the specs that I should align the car at after it is dropped with the springs?

I guess it depends on how low it is now. You'll need camber plates if it's really low and an alignment. I have 1.5"F/1.8"R i don't need camber plates but maybe alignment but it drive staight as it is, just to be on the safe side though for tire wear.

Well right now it is the stock ride heigth since swaybars and strut bars don't lower the car. The only thing the car is getting as to lowering it is the TRD USA lowering springs and the 17's and 215/50 tires will lower it very very slightly. However lowering it any at all you will need new specs to align the car to because if you align it to the factory settings then you will still be off because the factory specs are for the car at factory ride heigth.
