Exclamation Re: Installed Donahoe Racing Coil overs

The ride is fine. Like I said I actually notice more difference in ride by adjusting tire air pressure than between these coil overs and stock.

I can tell you that when I hit a bump, drop, etc. the front feels like its pouring over the "thing" as opposed to hitting it. That's nice

I am waiting on the Donahoe rear solution before I decide what to do with the rear set up.

And no I did not need to adjust the alignment. Tracking is just fine.
The FJC may track fine, but I'd recommend you have it re aligned. The 2" lift and change in the rake of the vehicle front to rear affect the camber and caster of the alignment, creating tire edge wear and more wander at freeway speeds, even though the vehicle will track straight. If you look closely at the wheels looking head on at the vehicle from ground level, you'll notice the tires taper outward from the top (positive caster) since the donahoes where installed...your tires ride more on the outer edge instead of the bottom of the tread... in general, any height change will affect the alignment on independent suspension, and should be checked and re adjusted...
