Default Purchasing Eibach springs..

Hi everyone, I am planning to purchase the Eibach prokit springs from tirerack and wondering if it is necessary to get the alignment kit as well?
Sorry for the noob question, as this being the first time I will be lowering any car. Tirerack recommends I purchase the alignment kit but cant I just go to a shop and have them align it? Or is this something I need to get?

If anyone can give me any advice, I appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.

the s2000 has a factory alignment bolts. the drop of the pro kit should be in the adjustment range of the stock alignment bolts.

drive it for about a week to let the new suspension settle...
then take it to a speed shop (alignment shop that specializes in track and hot road cars) for an aggressive alignment.
imo, the car should be aligned every year or two- i am always impressed how much better it handles after alignment.
and especially when i got my eibachs- night and day (before and after the alignment)

dont know what the alignment kit is... i would ask the shop that you will take the car to as to their opinion on this
