Alignment issues after installing H&R spring+new wheel/tire

[FLtrackdays]

Was your issue ever resolved I’m having the same problem right now. Car drives straight when the steering wheel is straight but as soon as I let go of the wheel it pulls a bit right causing the car to also go right. Alignment shop looked over it twice and told me the only way to fix it is with aftermarket adjustable lower control arms.

May not be your issue but I had the same thing when I had springs only and adjustable lower control arms. My alignment shop wasn’t able to fix it completely. From what I understood, the springs would bind?!? They made a video trying to show me how they inherently wanted to turn/twist. It made a noise at times and that turning motion would cause a pull to the right. I now have Ohlins with Vorschlag top hats. Not suggesting you have to go that far. But the shop suggested it (the top hats). So I got Vorschlag camber plates made for the Ohlins, and she no longer pulls at all.

Bonus of having camber plates with adjustable LCAs, more negative camber and flexibility for the shops. They may be able to fix it with LCAs alone. Just sharing my dumb 2 cents if it helps ?

And I’d avoid big box dealers. I sadly tried three when I 1st got the car. All of them thought they could get it “right” lol.

Thanks for the help. Do you have a picture of your alignment sheet by any chance? Would more negative camber also result to more uneven wear on the tires?

I don’t. I stopped counting after -3. It’s done by string now. But we went for maximum negative camber up front. So yes, I do get uneven wear. But not how you’d think. The inside is fine. The outside is where I get the most wear.
