So I just got finished installing new suspension on my car, Konis with GC coilovers at 550/rear and 500/front.

With Konis, how do I know if they are all the way firm or shoft? And is it normal for them to make more creeking noises then stock?

Also, when the car is on the lift the suspension extends and the GC coilovers become loose, like you can grab the spring and move it up and down on the shock, is this normal?

Last, my alignment is off, I know that you should get an alignment after putting new suspension in but is it normal for the steering wheel to be 1/4 out of alignment.

They should have come with an adjusting knob, it has an arrow on it...

I guess it depends how bad your alignment was before.
