Default If i lower my bilstiens to their lowest setting, will this affect my alignment?
had a 4 wheel alignment done in March or so. I want to drop my front (Hypercoils with Bilstein sports) from middle setting (two fingers) to lowest setting (one finger).

Would this affect alignment? Second, i assume this will increase the chances of rubbing? I plan on downgrading from 18" Radons to 17" OZ SLs...

Cheers,
Sameer

Default my fronts are all the way to the bottom with race springs...
no rubbing, but I scrap the ground on ramps / speedbumps.

Nevermind...seems the dealer actually did something right and fixed it without me asking.
