alignment after installing springs? yes or no?
i just ordered some tein s tech springs for my car. i am not sure if i should get an alignment after i install them or not, i keep hearing different things. please give me some opinions!! thanks!
Yes yes yes.
Even factory s2ks that settle slightly wind up with front toe-out. This wears the insides of the tires. Look at any s2k. The insides are worn on 80% of them.
Lowering the car Will increase the toe-out even more and Will kill the insides of the tires.

Depending on how low you go, a camber kit would be a great idea for more adjusting. I was able to lower my car used Megan rear toe arms,and SPC rear upper adjustable ball joints -+3 and was able to get a perfect alignment at Honda 70.00, not to bad..
wait at least two weeks it takes awhile for the springs to settle.. i used to mount, dismount tires and lower cars for a living..

ok thanks guys for the feedback! now should i wait a week or so to get it aligned or sjhould i just run to the shop right after i install the springs?
do it, i used to work at an alignment shop and many customers come in after lowering. The lower you go, the more you need an alignment. Even though springs don't lower by much. An alignment can help even a little, but if it helps a little. It can save your tires overtime and give you a better drive.
