Question re: diff drop/alignment

[Scooter25]

OK so I just installed my lift (front Toytec coilover / rear LC with n86) so of course now I need to get an alignment. I have a panhard drop bracket and diff drop showing up on monday. My question is will it make a difference if I get the alignment before or after the diff drop?
-thanks

P.S. I'll eventually post some pics. Need wheels/tires first

id wait till after your diff drop and trac bar bracket are installed before getting it aligned. theoretically, it shouldnt affect the alignment. still...id get it all done then aligned.

Again, theoretically, it shouldnt matter, but I would just wait till after I had it all in there to be sure.

I would wait also. Not because the diff drop will have any effect on the alignment but because a new lift/coils will settle. Depending on which toytec lift you got between the spacer and the adjustable coilovers you may want to go flex it out pretty hard after getting the diff drop and bracket installed and then do get it aligned.

Probably really minor differences but there could be a difference none the less.

This thread needs pics of the new lift though.....

I'm hopping on the bandwagon to say it's better to wait and good point on letting the coils settle for a few days first.

NIce thing about the adjustable coil overs is that when they settle (all coils settle some) then you can just crank them back up to where you want them.

I am interested in how these Toytecs hold up for you and Ric in the long term. I think it is the same unit that Allpro is selling just with a different top bracket.
