Default How long to wait after springs install
I installed a set of Eibach Lowering springs last week. I was wondering how long i should wait before i go in for an alignment. How long does it take a set of springs to settle?

i put my prokit in a few weeks ago... forgive me for a dumb question but does it matter what wheels I have on the car? Should I go get it aligned now on stock ap1s if I'm planning on getting different wheels soon? Is alignment wheel independent?

for you it matters since you have aggressive wheels and need negative camber.

if you are getting aggressive wheels and need to run negative camber, then yes, wait for you new wheels. if you are running non aggressive wheels, then it doesnt matter. just wait 2 weeks for your springs to settle.
