  • Alignment when low?

    My coilovers have been in for three weeks so surely they've settled, right? I'm still rockin' at least an inch of gap, so today one of the techs at my work is dropping it another inch (against his own judgement...lol) & installing my skid plate as well.

    He doesn't think he'll be able to complete an alignment here. He's concerned about getting it out of the shop, nevermind getting it off the rack..... What shop in Calgary will be able to do it? Who's low & where do you go?

    He also says there's a chance I'll trigger my airbags if I smack her good enough since the plate is attached to the frame. Has that actually happened to anyone???

    Advice?

      I did my alignments at Trio Motors and the MK4 was done at Matrix. Go talk to Popp. If you sweet talk him he might help you out. lol

              Just make sure you change your driving habits. I've been slammed for 2 years, including in winter, without a skid plate, I just make sure I scan the road ahead for debris, raised man holes, potholes.

              As for alignment, George from Tunedub said its not necessary when I asked, as I have read everyone on the vortex claims you do.

              Good luck.

                after installing the coils in my gti it ran perfectly straight no alignment problems at all..
                should be fine with out an alignment for a while unless u notice something right away

                      Alignment is a must.
                      Especially if it's lowerd for performance.
