Default tein lowering springs fitted on oem red sti struts will the geometry need adjusting?

Hi all
Can you give any advise on what needs doing after ive fitted a set of Tein lowering springs onto Oem red STI struts? Will the camber need adjusting or is the 40mm they lower the front within the tolerances for leaving well alone??
regards

You will need the geometry resetting yes.

Were the bumpstops trimmed when fitting the springs?

thanks for replying.

there not back on the car yet but the info that came in the box says the bump stops do not require cutting? some makes of cars they do but not Scoobys.

As for the geometery silverline wheels & tyres owner drinks in my local boozer

The weld on the nearside rear failed and the spring has pushed the cup down onto the tyre, i managed to pick up a set of four of a car which was being broken, and after a clean up repaint and new tein springs will be refitted hopefully trouble free!
