M4 H&R SS (Alignment)
HI,
I just installed the H&R super sport Springs on my M4. I drove it around and it didn't feel right. It was pulling a bit to the right. I would imagine it would need an alignment after the install. Anybody have an insight on this? |

Any pics of the car on H&R SS springs? How did it work out after alignment?

I saw your car at the show at Pembroke bmw a few weeks ago. Love the drop looks awesome. I have a couple of questions for you.
Did you do the springs yourself? If so was it hard? Did you do any type of camber correction plates or nothing at all? Who did your alignment? Do you have adaptive suspension? If so do you notice any difference after the drop? |

Mine was pulling to right after spring install as well. Had BMW N. Scottsdale do alignment. Still ever slightly pulls to the right.
Would love to hear if yours does as well after alignment.

Many times, if not all the time and depending on the experience of the person installing the springs/coilovers, the cars alignment will be off after install. From past experiences, and from everything I've ever heard, it is best to wait a week or 2 after installing to allow the springs to settle fully. THEN, get an alignment. I had mine done 2 1/2 weeks after installing my KW HAS kit and spacers and it worked beautifully.

this is true, but in this case they wont do it for you after putting springs on. and yes it can be done in first 1000 but it is very rare, has to be proven that it came shipped like that or due to manufactures defect.
