Default Did you get alignment after springs install?

I am thinking about getting tein s tech however i have seen other s2k's on the street without alignment and they have no uneven tired tread etc..

I was wondering how many of you got alignment done after installing aftermarket springs, if so how much for 4 wheel alignment did u pay..

i am in NOR-CAL...

thx

the thing is, the toe, camber and caster will be in a world of poop if you installed the spring without alignment.

don't worry about your tire, they are gone for sure.

worry about crushing your S

do yourself a favor, spend the extra 70 bucks

after my eibachs, i had it aligned for an aggressive street alignment.
i thought this car handled well when it was new.
the alignment made it a newer car !!
handled like it was on rails!

if it handles like it's on rails, you're not taking turns fast enough
