it is recommended that you do at least get an alignment when you changr ride height. just set up the height to where you want it then get an alignment after. most people i know set it to their desirred height and never adjust again

Just alignment tbh... you could get it corner weighted but you only really see the difference on the track, but if you got the money to spend then why not

All in all, what kind of height diff are we talking about here. i mean if your gonna move it up and down maybe a cm or 2, then your fine althoughas mentioned every time you move it, It will throw it off.

Ive had mine aligned and then ive had it up and down a few trimes, Had it re aligned to find out that nothing honestly changed. I was susprised to see a minimal change or .2/3 ina few area's so back to how I started this,

It all depends on how you go up and down and how far.
