I recently swapped my lowering springs back to stock; I'm now sitting on stock suspension, but with Enkei Rpf1's. Do I still ask for a factory specs alignment with aftermarket wheels? Also should I ask to sit in the car while they align it? It's a 2004.

Thanks!

Yes just have them set it to factory specs. That provides the best tire wear and driveability. When I do alignments I usually only have the customer in the car if they're on the larger side or if its some German car. Shouldn't be necessary in your case.

What do you want from the car? Are you looking for a "fun ride" that won't eat tires, great handling on the street and don't care about tires, autox beast, track beast? What tires/sizes? It is really hard without knowing what your after.

Sitting in the car will change the alignment, but unless it is a autox/track rig or your the only one ever in the car then it is meaningless

I'm mainly looking for that fun ride/great handling, I guess I'll stick to stock then, wasn't sure if I needed to adjust with aftermarket wheels

Elysian

I'll do just that, thanks!

Wheel selection won't really determine alignment. Stock specs are not a bad choice if you really don't know a whole lot about alignments, that said I will never own an S2k and keep the stock specs, there is just way to much potential with all the adjustability.

Stock spec is a very broad range. Generally, if going with stock spec, I recommend maximum spec camber all around and minimum spec toe.
