Hey Guys

I have a question. If change over tyres and did wheel alignment, then later on i change my spring. Would i require another wheel alignment?

Thanks

it does depend on how the struts are put back in etc, but generally yes, as this will move around

best to do a wheel alignment after as all the settings (camber, toe etc) become way off balance

Shouldn't cost much anyway i get mine done for $50 if you are in sydney i can recommend

cheers guy for the replies :)
will do wheel alignment, actually im trying to get my spring done before wheel change tomorrow. But Hanny is busy today. So not sure where else i can get it done or you guys recommend? I have called bridgestone who going cost me about $250 to get it install, which i think is abit to high? Anyone know the Average price to get spring install?

Thanks

are you going to install the spring into the shock and then place into your car or just swap out the old spring/shock with the new set?

250 is prob average, try to get someone for 200

you can get it cheaper obviously but it depends who does it for you. Installing the spring in the shock is a tedious job involves labor so that's why its kind of expensive

DIY.
Theres a write up somewhere, just get the tools required and not shoot your eyes out.
Not a huge job. Otherwise I'm sure Benjamin will do it for cheap.
