Thanks for the quick reply. I’m gonna look into the godspeeds, I don’t mind paying the extra penny for quality. Sweet car btw
The other arms are good; K Tuned, SPC, and Truhart. In my opinion, the Tru-Hart's are over priced, and the K Tuned is probably the highest quality. But they all use rubber bushes rather than spherical bearings like the godspeeds. I just got my godspeeds in the mail, very high quality feel for the price.

And thanks! Can't wait till this bad boy is lowered, it'll make all the difference!

Model: Hatchback
Suspension: D2 Springs, 25mm Garageline spacers

Any modifications needed?: Naaaaah
Hey man:
I’ve got the same hb. Please advise; besides the d2 springs were you able to drive normally or did you need any adjustments like alignment or camber rods?
Looks awesome

Currently lowered on sportlines, looking into some coilovers. Any recommendations and what I should be running with it? For example any aftermarket camber arms, control arms etc.
Should have already had a camber kit, running those Sportlines.... Just sayin'.

Here's a different question: How long after throwing on lowering springs should you get the alignment done? Should it be right away, or after a couple days so the springs "can settle"?

Keep in mind, I have a lifetime alignment with Firestone, so I could technically get it redone for free if the springs "settle".

High quality springs, such as Eibach, don't settle.
What "settles" over time is the bushings in the suspension because of the new weight distribution caused by the springs.
A quick ride around the block will ensure the springs are properly seated and you're good to go. Though, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have your alignment checked a couple months down the road, just to be safe.

I waited about a week after installing my springs to get an alignment. Only drove about 100 miles during that time so I didn't wear my tires too bad.

Ah, well since I do a lot of driving, I should probably get it aligned same day as the install. Lol

Interesting. I felt mine pulling right after the install so I wanted to get it aligned immediately.

I will get mine aligned after I have time to install my rear chamber kit. But so far I have not noticed anything bad by not doing so yet
