BUMP
I would like to know the same thing. I am going to install mine this weekend and was wondering if they are different than stock?

Well,
there is no need to a new alignment cause you don't have to dismantle wishbones etc. It's just a straight forward assembly of the new suspension. This is was what my mechanic told me and i don't have any reason not to believe him(he's a very knowledgable mechanic and old racing guy). BTW, the new GMPP feels tighter,reduces excess bound rebound. |

If you change the height of sprints and shocks, that knocks out the alignment.
This isn't supposed to change anything by more than 1/4" from what I have read, so it probably isn't necessary as angles would not have changed. So I guess a better question would be. Did the GMPP change the ride height at all? If so, by how much? I'll have to measure mine this weekend. [If I get a chance to do this] Should be an easy install. I just have to see how you gain access to the rear Upper bolts.

I wonder if they will be enough to affect the Castor.
Sounds like yours rides great, so it definitely isn't causing any bump steer or wander

We have a set of the GMPP Suspension sitting on the shelf and we were told to have the car aligned when the new suspension goes on...

although I don't have the GMPP suspension setup, I do have a modified setup with Eibach springs. I can post the alignment specs I used when I get home on Monday. It DRASTICALLY changes how the car handles....don't know why they didn't put it like that from the factory. I don't see any more wear on my tires than before, and they're wearing evenly. Car stays straight and true and really hugs the road.
