Default Just lowered with H&R Springs

So far it's all good, except for the AFS light keep blinking
should i get an alignment now or wait for 2-3 weeks?
another thing is my wheel look so small for 19" (KYOWA KR628 19x8.5 19x9.5)
i really like the rims in the last picture can any1 tell me the size or where do i get that?
Thanks a lot

DUDE. Saw you and your car at EVS on Wednesday. Mine was the other white IS there (clearly) haha.

EDIT: And the AFS is on because your car is out of max/min adjustment of being level since you lowered it. Gotta adjust the sensors on the rear control arm ( i believe). Mine has the same thing going on since i put coils on Wednesday.

Good choice! I remember you were asking me about H&R springs awhile back.

When I had mine installed, I made sure to tell the installer to watch out for the sensor arms. Unfortunately, they'll have to be put back in their original position. I think there was a thread in the suspension sub-forum that had a picture on what position to put the sensor back in case it happens.

AFS light on cause the installer unbolted it and for got to put it back at 90 degree angle. Sensor in the rear doesn't need to be touch on uninstall process.

The H&R springs drop is pretty even - shouldnt throw off the AFS sensor.

Make sure it got re-installed properly.

Also - yes, get an alignment. Don't wait very long.

Your alignment would be bad if u didn't get one done! I do mine once a year.

A bad alignment can cause premature tire wear, car pulling to one side, etc.
