BUT I found out after they do the parts change they'll have to do the alignment again, so FREE alignment!!

Do you need to get your car realligned? I'm thinking about bring my car in for an alignment since it's still under warranty, not sure if they will be able to tell if the car is lower or not.

i'm getting the alignment free because it just happened that they need to replace the thrust arms to get rid of the squeaking problem i have w/ the front suspension, and they need to alignment after they replaces the parts.
anywayz, tomorrow i'm going to TWS to get the car checked and maybe changing the rear pads to #1. I notice the gap on two sides are not very even.
the driver side's lower than the other side. I'm not sure if this is normal or what when there's no one in the car.

Frank, please just take a tape measure and go measue the the drop!!!!! Please. Very easy, just hold the end of the tape at the center of the wheel cap and measure up to the top of the lip vertically, and your done. We have measurements of RENNtech springs on the C32 already. Curious as to what others are. This is of importance to all who are reading this thread.

don't know how correct this measurement are cuz I was just quickly eyeing it before I took the car in for service this noon.
the front from center of the center cap to the edge of fender is about 13.2-3 inches or watever that 13 means, and the rear is about 13.3-4 ish.
I may wait till later to get the #1 pads from the look of it now since the dealer is doing the suspension parts change for fixing the squeaks, and they are also doing the alignment for free. I was going to change the pads before they do the service at the dealership, but a light change in plan made today when my dad answered the phone.

Thanks. Those number thingies on the tape are a secret code, so don't worry about it. They can mean whatever you want them to. Never seen a 13.2-3ish before... maybe 7-10/32;.21875 - .3125...
Most RENNtech springs yeild 13.25 - 13.50 front and rear.
