whats more important is fixing the problem for the next set of tires you get. buy front and rear camber kit. also replace your outter tie rods when you put on your coils. then get it aligned when you get your new tires.

hmm well if you want to save your tires buy the camber kits and get an alignment like at a firestone and have em 0 you out. that should make em last longer...+ rotate your tires every like 500 miles.

ohh okay i guess ill do that ....im lower in the back cuz my struts are blown in the back so my tires were tucked in

but the front had id say a less then a finger gap...so im buying coils to bring up my rear and leave the front the way it is

good. just be safe driving around on blown shocks. what type of coils are you getting? make sure you get new tie rods. before you get your 2nd alignment.

ive been drive with the blown struts since i had the car id say 2 years....but i never noticed they were blown since it was my 1st car....till i lowered it

i noticed the back sagged more then the front did a little resurech and it was the struts...

Even with the alignment.if your tires are worn its probably goin to still pull to one side.i had progress springs on for a long time. I got camber and toe wear but still drove straight with no aligning. I just recently got my first alignment in the ep. Only have a rear camber kit. Front came out exactly where i wanted to 1.5*- camber and 0 toe. I would say get new tires ride for about a week and see if it still pulls to one side.if it does get it realigned or get the coilovers and realign.

I also recently switched to ssr basic coilovers.

make sure you check for worn dry-rotted front and rear suspension bushings
