yes. whether you want to do it immediately after or wait, that's up to you.

I waited a week for the springs to settle a little bit and then got my alignment done.

I rode my car out 1k miles before my alignment As long as u dont go all out it wont fark up your tread too badly. You can barely tell with mine. 1k miles is plenty to let the springs settle but thats jus my opinion. I have coilovers tho haha

yes, i agree what everyone has mentioned. the wait period for the springs to settle is completely up to you, just don't wait too long.

Step 1.) Install springs
Step 2.) Call Orlando @ Auto Innovations and schedule an alignment a week from the day you installed springs.
Step 3.) Drive carefully, the car will be a little nervous on the road without that alignment. Or so that's what I found.
Step 4.) Align, go with a euro spec if you like, Orlando will dial in your alignment specs exactly!
