Puting on eibach sportlines which drop a stock celica down 1.5 inches. Do i need to worry about camber and alinement and all that stuff?
After i put the springs and struts in do i need to take it to an allinment center? |

Most cars you will HAVE to align after lowering. Lowering will add negative camber most of the time, which in turn will change the toe. For some reason celica's camber doesnt change much when you lower so its usually fine. On my 3000gt the camber and toe was so far off when i lowered that the car was all over the road and the tires wore very uneven.
