Changed suspension and headlight aiming is affected
I just put a new suspension on my car, and now I get the feeling that my headlights are pointing too low. I guess this is common?

it's my D in a B
happened when I first put on my coilovers... the back was high and the front was low, so they pointed down. I just leveled out my suspension and was fine.

When you lower the car evenly the headlight beams will be lower to the ground and not reach as far. I had to raise mine up a little.

Yes, if you give it a little thought, the headlights were aimed to be set at your stock height, since you lowered, you have to adjust accordingly. It's really not that hard.
