Default 15K Service and a few questions.

Hi guys,

Haven't been on here for a while! Just picked up my car from Ford after my 15K service.

$230 (I supplied the oil)

I have had my car lowered for some time now with some H&R springs and I stupidly forgot to get a wheel alignment done. So as a result the front tires have worn a lot on the insides. I need two new front tires plus a wheel alignment.

Would it be best to get the tires first then the alignment or it does not matter if I get the wheel alignment done before the new tires?

For those who have not seen a WS Fez lowered here is mine:





The look is great but I have paid the price by not getting a wheel alignment!!

How do you find the clearence at the front with the lowered suspension? While it looks great, i would be worried mine would scrape at the slightest curb, as it's already quite low as is?

Yeah I have scrapped it pretty bad numerous times. But heck its only plastic, the look and increased handling far out weighs the scratches imho

Ok yeah I was thinking that might be the better option, cheers

I can't actually get in and out of my local IGA driveway without scratching the crap out of the front bar as it is stock height haha.
