Default lowering springs

How difficult is it to get the car realigned after dropping it 1 inch with Eibach pros? Thanks for any info.

Find a shop that has an newer alignment rack that can deal with lowered vehicles. As long as the alignmnet tech isn't a moron, It's not a problem.

Just lowered mine a couple of months ago and my buddy here at the shop had my alignment done in 20-25 min. No problems at all.

If you just want to drop it a little, H&Rs get my vote:

I have owned TEIN suspension before and just think their quality leaves too much to be desired. H&Rs or Eibachs are great, and always have been.
