Default Adjusting ride height and alignment

I just got my car aligned after putting my suspension on and I was wondering if I lowered it for autocross then raised it back, up for street, would it mess with my alignment at all?

yeah, and after you did it once, you'd never do it again, just because it's a pain. Leave it low, drive careful, you'll get used to it [8D]


p.s. what's your setup?

leave the height between what you would want to race with and what you would dd in everyday, that would give you a good balance of what you want. i raised mine up but now i want to lower it back just a little, but it is such a pain in the ace, i'm just too lazy.

I don't care about it being a pain in the ***. I'm just worried about having to drop another $60 on an alignment.

I wrote about this question before, and yes you would have to get a alignment. There are articals on the net on how to do your own alignment if your interested.
