Default Espelir's and alignment

I have an 00 lowered on Espelirs. I had it aligned an hour after I had the springs installed and since the car has settled alot and has thrown the alignment off. It needs new tires, and obviously another alignment. However I am thinking of selling the car and I need to know if anyone has had issues getting the car aligned perfectly with Espelir's. Thanks.

My 2000 is lowered on Espelirs. I aligned mine a day after I installed them and I haven't had any problem since. I used the factory specs.

I waited two weeks for my stuff to settle completely before aligning.

How do you guys get your wheels aligned after lowering. Everyone I talk to (like at tires plus or any local alignment shop) says there laser alignment machine won't line up with lowerd cars. I had to get mine alignd by a 65yr old man who ownes the only shop within 75 miles of me who happens to have a pit to drive over and he alignd it with dial calipers and a wrench. dial calipers+wrench+alignment= nervousness.

The guy that did mine used all hand tools too. But then again he says he does at least 1 s2000 a day.
