Need specs for lowered 3000GT
Hey guys. I desperately need the alignment specs for a lowered 3000GT! It'll save me $120!! I work at a Mitsubishi dealer so I have access to an alignment rack, hehe. But, they only have the specs for a non lowered 3000GT. I have eibach springs and kyb struts if that helps. it lowers it 1.3 inches in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Thanks!!

Re: Need specs for lowered 3000GT
The specs are the same no matter if its lifted or lowered. You will have to make adjustments after you lower it to get it back to factory spec.

Re: Need specs for lowered 3000GT
"adjustments" as in what? Be specific, please. btw, how are the specs the same if they're lowered or not? The techs told me that they're not the same. It's run by a computer and a laser bounces off a pyramid placed on each wheel. well, if the computer tells the laser to point at a certain height, how is it going to hit the pyramid if it's 1.5 inches off?

Re: Need specs for lowered 3000GT
My understanding is that when you lower your car, the camber of each wheel is effected. Essentially camber is the angle at which your wheels/tires make contact with the pavement. Generally factor spec is a 90degree angle, so your tires are straight up and down, like this 'l'. When you lower your car, the tendency is for your camber to go positive or negative...I can't remember which, but essentially your tires are hitting the ground like this '/' or '\'
This positive or negative camber reduces the area of the tire's footprint or contact with the pavement...usually a bad thing for traction. I think what talskinyguy means, is that despite your car's new height, the camber needs to be back to factory spec, and that is going to be straight up and down, no matter what the height. I don't know how alignment machines work, so I can't really offer insight as to the laser pyramids or whatever, but as far as I understand, you don't need new specs or any such information for the alignment, you just need the camber to be corrected.
