Default Alignment after dropping car?
For those of you who have coilovers and adjust your drop from time to time. Do you have to get an alignment everytime you adjust the height?

Yes. Every time you adjust the ride height you are changing the suspension geometry and will need an alignment to save your tires and have optimal handling

Some places offer lifetime alignment,

If you're gonna be adjusting a lot just sign up for one of those.
