yes, it would be wise to have your tires balanced, if you plan to drive the car on the highway. If it will just be street driving, it wont make any real difference...
it would also be a good idea to get the toe in/ toe out set correctly...
caster/ camber continually changes, so that would be wasted money, unless you set the car at your usual ride height, and have it alligned there

we never get our shit aligned... our tires have ghetto tucks... meaning about 3-4 inch extended arms... Do you really think an alignment is going to help out the tire when you drive it at 70 mph on the freeway with your tires tucked out like that?
Save your money, do it L.A. style, don't align.

you cant adjust camber but you sure as hell can adjust toe,,, with a bad toe setting you will wear those tires out in a week,,, only wannabes from cali dont align and balance their shit,, :biggrin:
now i'm just fuckin confused
it happens...
just adjust the toe so the car doesnt pull... you'll be fine
balance the wheels if youre gonna do freeway driving..

when you install kos do you use your existing tire on your car or is it a different tire? if you can use your existing tire do you need to adjust your tire or do anything special to it to make it usable again? this is a confusion to me

wanna be's??? that's why you buy new tires man... Don't be so damn cheap and not even extend your a-arms.
if you don't have hydraulics, balance them... align your car, w/eOriginally posted by G4ever@Sep 13 2003, 10:07 PM

if you have hydraulics, don't align, don't balance... What the hell are you going to do that? Your suspension alignment changes when you hit the switch...
i know its confusing because of the opposing posts.Originally posted by G4ever@Sep 13 2003, 10:07 PM

but 216 is right in my opinion.
but let me see if i can clarify this for you.
you definitely need to balance your tires. if your putting
M's(13's) or N's(14's) your tires will spin at a higher revolution at the same speed than a normal tires.
speed balance your tires. to avoid the weights from making your rims look ugly, as them to place the weights on the inside of your rim.
as for alignment, choose a heighth were you will be driving your ranfla most of the time. us this as a starting point and base your alignment from there.
if you see a rim shop that also does alignment, they are your best bet.
both are imperative, i have done this for years, and the homies before me for decades.
if you need further info. send me a pm.
hope this helps,
:cheesy: ,
